An Exclusive Evening of Art at the Amanyara

art amanyara

On Saturday November 9, 2013 I participated and attended a group art showing at the legendary Amanyara. The event was a fundraiser for the ECG Youth Centre, a cause near and dear to my heart. There were a very select few, just ten artists, chosen to exhibit works for the exclusive sold out event. The three sculptures, two photographs, and one of the two paintings I included in the show all sold much to my joy. I had the chance to speak with director Roxann Wake-Forbes today and she jubilantly relayed that the event fundraising goals were not only met but exceeded! Fantastic job to Courtney Miller and Roxann who spent countless hours organizing and to all of the many patrons who donated their time and skills to create such a beautiful event for such a worthy cause. If you would like to volunteer at the contre or discover ther ways in which you can help the Youth Centre thrive please contact Roxann here.

The Caribbean’s only I-Pad Magazine

Anyone who has ever had a substantial conversation with Andy Mann recognizes that this is a guy who has a real passion for the Turks and Caicos Islands and is a virtual idea factory when it comes to owning and operating his business. So when he hinted at “something big” in the works last year I pressed for more info and he divulged his latest “brilliant” brainchild. I nearly couldn’t believe my ears; an interactive cutting edge I-Pad magazine filled with jaw dropping images and video footage illustrating an insider’s guide to the Turks and Caicos. Amazing and ambitious idea indeed. . . . so ambitious I thought at the time that I wasn’t quite convinced it could or would come to fruition.

I attended the launch party in October and could not have been more impressed; the photography, the stories, the insight, the interactive navigation. This is one cool, contemporary read. I am extremely proud of Andy and his entire team, I spent that evening feeling very fortunate to work alongside these fine folks regularly.

This summer I met Snwazna Adams, the then newly crowned Miss Turks and Caicos, while working on a fashion shoot for the 2014 issue of Discover Magazine Turks and Caicos. This 5’11” beauty was soft spoken, humble, and what I would describe as moderately shy.

It was great getting the chance to chat, learning how to pronounce that fierce first name (SNOW-ANA), and learning a little bit about this 26 year old. She just traveled all the way to Moscow to participate in the Miss Universe pageant where she made the whole country proud.

We hope you had the experience of a lifetime Snwazna, thanks for being a shining ambassador of the Turks and Caicos Islands!

In July I had the great pleasure of styling for a brand new build nestled into Leewards exclusive little neighborhood bay. What a location! We watched this home take shape block by block over the last year and knowing COAST architects were behind the design, we knew it would be sure to impress. Sure enough, feast your eyes on these gorgeous images by Steve Passmore.
