After years of experience in a number of capacities in the art sector, sculptor Stephen McKenzie finally found his niche.
Stephen, a former visual arts professor at E R Burrowes School of Art, and School of the Nations, has taught for almost 28 years. A Burrowes graduate, he majored in ceramics with a minor in painting before going on to complete his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Guyana.
During his years as a teacher, Stephen also worked as an artist. Seven years ago, when he was approached by a colleague’s husband from Trinidad to create a wooden sign for his trucking business, he did not realise that taking up such an assignment would take him down a different path in his journey as an artist.
