Meet Sir Vivian Richards

Canadian-born Naydene Gonnella is one of Antigua & Barbuda’s most well-known artists and her paintings can be found hanging in prestigious galleries around the world from North America to Europe. Although she has diverse subject matters ranging from local characters, famous personalities, landscapes and the nature and wildlife that surround her in her adopted island of Antigua, her work is always instantly recognisable. A vibrant use of colours such as blues, yellows and red evoke the exotic nature of the twin islands where she has lived for the past 15 years. Naydene’s unique paintings have won her numerous awards and adorned several magazine covers. Her upcoming exhibition in December at London’s iconic nightclub Tramp to celebrate its 50-year anniversary will feature portraits of the hotspot’s most celebrated members from past and present, including Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Rihanna and Drake.
