Renowned artist Karen Sylvester is set to unveil her latest exhibition, ‘Somewhat Familiar,’ at Studio Joli in St James, Trinidad, starting October 18. The showcase will feature Sylvester’s signature lush landscapes and intricate details, which have cemented her reputation as a master of her craft. Drawing inspiration from her childhood along the banks of a river in Trinidad’s Northern Range, Sylvester’s works are a heartfelt tribute to nature and her homeland. Despite lacking formal training, she has honed her skills through meticulous observation, blending sketches, photographs, and vivid memory recall to transform physical landscapes into evocative emotional experiences. Since 1993, Sylvester has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions both locally and internationally. Beyond her artistic pursuits, she is deeply committed to community engagement, contributing to art auctions, environmental conservation, and educational initiatives. Her works are celebrated in the National Museum and private collections worldwide. ‘Somewhat Familiar’ will run until October 30, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in her art and rediscover their appreciation for the natural world.
