Capturing TT’s scenery

Her 2016 collection of oils includes brilliant sceneries of Trinidad’s flora and fauna, gingerbread houses, busy fishermen and brightly painted pirogues.

Aldred attended the Laguna Beach School of Art in California where she received formal training in the arts, after attending Bishop Anstey High School. She was also awarded a scholarship by the Field Naturalists’ Society to attend a painting workshop under renowned bird illustrator, Arthur Singer, at the Asa Wright Nature Centre in the heart of the rainforest.

Her inspiration is derived from her love of nature, old architecture and vibrant energies, light and colour. She currently resides in England with her husband and children.

Aldred’s exhibition opens today at 7 pm at Horizons Art Gallery, 37, Mucurapo Road, St James. The exhibition ends October 8. Opening hours are 9 am to 5.30 pm Mondays to Fridays and 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays.
