Amina Fogg

Growing up in The Bahamas I was influenced by its natural beauty turquoise ocean and warming sun rays. A life of ease and simplicity was spent trying to capture it in drawings of silhouettes, vistas and portraits. The Bahamas narrative and culture has been predominately about escapism and hospitality. My paintings capture this effortless escapist energy in the natural environment of the Bahamas. I have most recently been influenced by a 6 month sojourn in the south of France studying the styles of impression artists of that region. I bring these stylistic influences to my interpretation of Bahamian landscapes.
