dear sir,
I have recently left High school, with plans to go to university in fall 2011 and I am intrested in becoming an art therapist. I would really like more information as to what Edna Manley College is planning to do, for there is no information about it on their website.

thank-you

It would be fantastic if you could pass on my contact info to Andy Jefferson. I am a friend and collector of some of Andy’s intaglio prints from the mid1980′s. I was saddened to read of Mark’s death and wish Andy love and restoration.
Regards

Comment on Howard Campbell Remembers Albert Huie by crescencia medhurst

This month (March 2010) I was grief-stricken t6o learn of the death of two of my greatest acquaintances (Sexy rex and Mr. Huie).
I knew Mr. Huie more than Mr. Nettleford. As a matter of fact, I hung around at Mr. Huie’s studio on Constant Spring Road. When I graduated from The Jamaica School of Art and returned from Mexico, I really appreciated and respected him so much more. We sometimes went out on the St.Thomas Road (Rose Falls) to paint. He thought my production of paintings were too low to be a survivor in the art world. (But, understood I simply could not afford the art material.)

If there was a tutor during my “journeyman”period it was Mr. Huie.

He helped to direct me to see who I was as a painter. He had great issues with some of the people in the directive social groups who determined who should be painters and what styles the Jamaican artists should adopt and copy.

Even after, years of recognition and painting, only the loyal Jamaican supporters stood by him.
Mr. Nettleford also understood the problems of the Jamaican artists and performers and his advice was,”Walk between the raindrops. Remember what goes around comes around.”
