MIAMI – Three Jamaican artists are currently exhibiting works at a one-month show titled “Island Muse” at Dharma Studio in Coconut Grove, Miami.
The three celebrated artists are Judy Ann McMillan, Jonna Brasch and Colin Garland.
Island Muse runs until early April and presents three distinctive voices, each inspired by the beauty and culture of the island.
The works of the artists continue to captivate their audiences as they continue to showcase their exhibits locally and internationally.
The repertoire of Colin Garland defies category and details a range of expression. Described as a surrealist, his work is vibrant with color and combines a spiritual tradition that have impacted the island, according to Director of the Studio, Ms. Barbara Hobbs.
Meanwhile, Jonna Brasch works show how the women of Jamaica have impacted the artist. Her paintings could also be described as paying homage to a cross culture influence of the women of her Danish roots and the Jamaican culture. A native of Denmark, Ms. Brasch has been living in Jamaica since 1986.
Known for her dynamic work depicting still life, the pieces of Ms. McMillan are simple in color and detail. Her portraits and landscape paintings detail her sense of passion for her native Jamaica and its people.
