Art & Craft In Memory of John Stuart
1932 - 2011 John Stuart was born in London in 1932, however it was here in Barbados, in his mid-sixties that he started to paint seriously. Through his exposure to such Barbadian artists as Fielding Babb and Wayne Branch, whose work he greatly admired, John developed a style which was uniquely his own, using a palette knife and oils to render, with tiny strokes, bright and cheerful rural scenes in a lyrical almost fairy-like style. We were honoured to have John’s wonderful paintings grace the covers of Ins & Outs on two occasions - in 2004 and again in 2010. He will be remembered fondly by all who had the great privilege of knowing him. May he rest in eternal peace.

Marilda Weatherhead
Catherine paints a vibrant and colourful Caribbean with bold tropical sensibility! The Creole theme is a very intricate part of her body of work with the depiction of Belles Creoles in their very feminine antics and apparels. She also paints lush, graceful vegetation as well as Bajan market scenes in full rhythm and movement. Her art is sought after by Caribbean and international collectors. She has shown in London, Brussels, France and has had several solo exhibitions in Barbados with the Gallery of Caribbean Art in Speightstown, where her work is currently exhibited. Catherine also welcomes visitors to her artist studio in the Garrison Historic Area.
Born in Venezuela, of an artistic family, Marilda has been residing in Barbados since the late 60s. Her passion for art began in 1987 when she started art classes under the tuition of well known local artist, Indrani Whittingham. She enjoys depicting scenes from everyday Barbadian life, using oils, pastels and acrylics. Marilda is the owner/curator of the lovely Frangipani Art Galleries located at the Sugar Cane Club Hotel & Spa in St. Peter, and on the south coast at The Savannah Hotel in Hastings, where her work is exhibited alongside the works of a number of Barbadian, Caribbean and International artists.
