Ann Stapleton draws on her upbringing in Champ Fleurs and her lifelong fascination with the everyday beauty of Trinidad and Tobago. She studied at St. Joseph’s Convent, St. Joseph, and later at the Albert Pels School of Art in New York, where she trained in Interior Design, Graphic Arts, Fine Art, and Illustration. After more than a decade in advertising, she turned fully to fine art.

Working mainly in acrylic with her signature impasto technique, Ann captures moments of rural life and culture with texture, colour, and warmth. Her paintings stir cherished memories, reflecting the dress, mannerisms, and traditions of a time gone by. With expressive brushstrokes and a luminous palette, her style often described as Realistic Impressionism, invites viewers to journey back in time and reconnect with the rich heritage that continues to shape Caribbean identity.
