“Quotidian Magic”

artist Judith Jarvis

I have been working full time as a professional artist since moving to Grenada from the UK, in 2007. My work can be found in homes throughout the Caribbean islands, the USA, England and Europe. There is also a piece of public art on Grand Anse Beach – a 30 foot mural on the back of the ‘Dive Grenada’ building, depicting Caribbean marine life. I have exhibited as a solo artist and also participated in collective exhibitions in the UK and Grenada.

After completing a BA Degree in Fine Art, I worked at ‘ Harker’s Scenic Studios’ in London, painting theatre sets for “The West End” and Glyndebourne Opera House. This progressed into designing sets and costumes for professional theatres. A love of working on a large scale relates to this time and is apparent in some of my paintings.

Essentially my work content is narrative, and the initial sense of the magic of Grenada (and the Caribbean) stays with me. I revel in the beach bars, fishermen casting nets at sunrise, the Easter tradition of making and flying kites in the Trade Winds, beauty of the natural landscape, the idiosyncratic and the idyllic. Light quality is an important element and I choose from my photographs with a focus on this.

I am proud of having 2 portraits of Grenadians shortlisted for the National Gallery BP Portrait Awards, in London. This was a global competition for which thousands of paintings were entered for selection, each year.

I also have a PGCE degrees in teaching, from the UK, where I taught Art to 11-18 year old students for many years – which I rate as one of my best achievements, and it is wonderful to see the work of those who are now engaged in their own art careers.
