Nassau, Bahamas - In recent years, Subrennah Gomez-Higgs, Janet Jennings and Jeanine
Lampkin have been firing up their ceramic works and appetites for
artistic expression under the tutelage of experienced ceramicist, Joann
Behagg. Now, the three artists are sharing their works and passion for
lifelong creative growth in a show entitled ‘Trio ‘.
The idea
was Behagg’s. Having taught the three women together in her Saturday
ceramic art lessons, Behagg believed each woman’s talents would
complement the others in an exhibition.
“They seem to gel really
well as a group while doing the classes,” explained Behagg. “I thought
they were ready and had enough skills to have a show.”
The show
is the first for Jennings and Lampkin and the second for Gomez-Higgs.
The exhibition will be held at Doongalik Studios on Village Road and
will feature fresh takes on decorative and functional staples like
platters, vases, tea sets and candle holders.
Pam Burnside,
owner of Doongalik Studios and co-founder of Creative Nassau has lauded
Trio for its capacity to inspire Bahamians to ‘rediscover’ their
creative geniuses. “It is always a pleasure to host an exhibition of
'new artists' who have rediscovered their love for art at a later stage
in their lives and realize how fulfilling it can be,” she said. “We hope
that this exhibition will inspire others to follow their passion.”
Trio’s
opening night was held on Thursday, October 23. Those
interested in supporting the artists or finding out more about ceramics
in The Bahamas are encouraged to visit the exhibition, which will be on
display Mondays – Wednesdays from 10am – 4pm at Doongalik Studios, #20
Village Road until Wednesday, November 12.
