Although born in Trinidad in 1972, Kyawana Shaw-Abraham has lived in Tobago for the last twenty five years. She is the quintessential ‘Trinbagonian’, embracing the challenges, opportunities and experiences offered by the diverse traditions, beliefs and ethnicity our twin island state.

Self-taught, she is not inclined toward any particular style and is known primarily for her large floral oil portraits which burst with vibrancy and expression. “I have been painting for almost thirteen years. It has been a sporadic vocation whilst raising my family, but one that has proven to be valuable to my self-development….the support of my family and friends cannot be underestimated.”
