ann dodson

there is a gallery up the road from wayne's parents home in barbados, on the wall, that we frequently walk to. the paintings that hang there burst with an intensity that you would expect from a tropical locale. one of my favourite artists featured there is ann dodson. her boldly colourful work of landscapes, markets and locals perfectly reflects the complexity and simplicity of the island. a gorgeous piece of dodson's hangs in my in-laws home- rolling hills, teeny trees and a patchwork of homes, reminiscent of an enchanted village.
