THE “Wombmyn” Art Exhibition by local artist Tracy Douglas is captivating regular viewers as well as her fellow artists in Guyana.

Douglas’ 40-piece show at the National Gallery of Art, Castellani House, which was held in observance of Emancipation included mediums such as print on chiffon, paint on wood, paint on paper, watercolour, coloured pencils, coloured dyes and tie-dye.
Local artist Angold Thompson said upon entering the door, his spirit lit up.

“She is a very serious artist and she is deep. When she speaks, you understand where she is coming from… She has some tiny pieces and I told her it is the beginning and I know she is going to develop them into large powerful pieces.”

Kardia Pestana, an art enthusiast, said the artwork produced by Douglas depicting nature and spirituality, resonated with her. “When you look at them you see the vibrancy and the rhythm of nature flowing through. You see earth colours, you see the sunlight and you see life.” (DPI)
