My love affair with the Caribbean began with my introduction to Haiti's extraordinary art. Curious to know what art from the other Caribbean islands looked like, I traveled the region on a personal voyage of discovery. The result is Enchanted Islands: Voices and Visions of the Caribbean, a gift journal that showcases 25 contemporary Caribbean artists and is laced with exquisite snippets of island poetry and prose. As contributor to the magazine Caribbean Travel & Life, I travel the azure Caribbean to report on the region's vibrant cultural treasures.
