Claudette Dean is a fine artist and writer based in Grand Bahama. Having long considered her calling, both in her life and in her creative practice, to be one of bridging and linkages, her works are at once a deeply personal exploration of self, as well as a constant deference to the landscape and our interconnectedness as beings in the human experience. Informed by a background in French Literature, and a love of writing and poetry, there is an observant yet romantic quality to the ideas and aesthetics she presents. Known to illicit a palpable poeticism, magic, and dreaminess—like meditations on the landscape and the spiritual—her works weave together the mystical fabric of her oeuvre.
