Adversities helped Alvina Naughton to reconnect with the artist she always knew she was and today she finds joy in painting and creating art, however her soul allows her to do this as it is part of her healing process.
Naughton, a mother of two, always knew she wanted to become an artist; she has relatives on both sides of her family who are into this but with this career not seen as lucrative in Guyana and she was guided along another path.
Years later, with an International Relations (IR) degree from the University of Guyana under her belt and some teaching experience, Naughton believes she is where she belongs in life. While it might not make millions, her art brings her joy that is twofold: creating and helping other young artists to find their niche and giving them a safe space to create. She does the latter by allowing them to use space in a family house that she is slowly turning into a studio, where she can be at peace while she creates.
