Royane Caldwell, A.O.C.A.
Manchester Parish, Jamaica, W.i. 876-798-7650
www.Absollutearts.com/royanecaldwell
An award winning artist and honors graduate in Fine/Experimental Arts from the Ontario College of Art & Design. At present, I am almost completely absorbed in visual arts. My academic education consists of western and non-western art, philosophy, music, anatomy, physiology and holistic medicine. I am extremely interested in exploring the relationship between dreams and the collective unconscious and their intuitive reflection expressed in my art. Both my paintings and photography have been shown in a number of venues over the past few years, and are in private as well as corporate collections in Canada and the United States.

Artist Statement
At present, I am almost completely absorbed in visual arts.
My academic education consists of western and non-western art, philosophy, music, anatomy, physiology and holistic medicine. I am extremely interested in exploring the relationship between dreams and the collective unconscious and their intuitive reflection expressed in my art. Both my paintings and photography have been shown in a number of venues over the past few years, and are in private as well as corporate collections in Canada and the United States.
My search for meaning and my attempts to illustrate contemporary mythology are based on a central certainty of stored remembrances, genetic memories that resonate at our deepest levels. I use organic forms, anatomical structures, icons, and symbolism to draw obscure truths. “I see my art as a conduit, crossing the boundaries of seen and unseen, feeling and memory”.
