Conservation in Context
The Evander Childs High School Murals Project

Garry Howe

This essay that I am about to write is about my self and how I get on with people.

I am from the heart of the Caribbean which is Jamaica, land we love! and I do make use of it as you can see in most of my work. There are things I do that represent where I am from.

I was born in 1981, and I am attending Evander Childs High. So far, from ever since I have been painting, people like the way paint, and so far I haven't seen anyone complaining yet.

I have been around a lot of artists, both here in the USA and in Jamaica. Two of the most finest artists that I have worked with was Mr. Fyth who is a Jamaican artist, and Manny Vega, who is a Puerto Rican. Manny is a very interesting artist who is one of them who enjoy using a lot of colors even when he is doing portraits, and those colors are what I would use in my landscapes. Manny can also be considered as a great teacher. He is the one who told me to work big and I did do to! Manny is also a nice guy but he is a very hard nut to crack when he need you to produce something, but that is the right thing because if you work hard you will achieve the skills you need, because right now I think I do.
