Aarean Designs

Born in Princes Town (South Trinidad) in 1966, the artist has worked for over 22 years in the area of Art Education. Her early schooling began at Naparima Girls' High School, where she pursued French, Spanish and Art. In 1988 she got her first teaching appointment and though faced with the many challenges of work and maintaining her family, she believed in and subscribed to life-long learning. Reita attained her B. A. Special in Visual Arts with Human Resource Management from the University of the West Indies in 2004. She also did her Diploma in Education and recently graduated from the School of Education where she completed her Masters, also in Education. She is most passionate about teaching Art and through her recently established Wearable Art business she is able to engage patrons at an even higher level. Her work invariably describes aspects of our natural and bountiful local landscape. Her foliage and other cultural designs are characteristic of the love, warmth, colour and music that she herself enjoys in our beautiful Caribbean space. Her desire is to share these attributes of our culture and unique Trinbagonian identity through her Art.
