“My classes will be classes in sensitivity. I do not think there is much artistic impulse among Bermudians. There is a complete lack of feeling among them; they have no emotional awareness.”—The Royal Gazette, March 19, 1948 “It is fairly simple to render a good likeness but no artist who is worth his salt is satisfied with that. I want to get under the skin of my sitter… I am concerned with the soul of my sitter.”—Canada-West Indies Magazine, August 1959 “I’ve even designed a tombstone, made the mould and cast the stone in cement myself. There’s a shortage of skilled workers in many lines in Bermuda so when you start a job you have to finish the whole thing yourself.” The making of casava (sic) pies is an interesting Christmas custom in Bermuda. Every homemaker vies with her friends in making the most tasty casava pie. It wouldn’t be Christmas without the casava pie.”—Winnipeg Tribune, August 25, 1951 “I am delighted to see art developing in Bermuda’s schools…These exhibitions have shown a greater flair for freedom of expression, and altogether there is a much better attitude towards what used to be an unhealthy, unliked and unwanted subject in the schools.”—Bermuda Sun, November 27, 1965 |
