Biography
Carlton Murrell began exploring his artistic talents by drawing and painting the various lifestyles of his native Barbados.

Drawing on the influence of Monet and other European Impressionist painters, Murrell's layering of paints in short strokes and use of colour emerges with a unique painterly style. He combines his rich Caribbean heritage with traditional island and urban living to impact upin the viewer a thought provoking visual message. Mr Murrell has to his credit more than 15 awards, prizes and citations. Among them is the prestigious "Proclamation for Outstanding Contribution to Caribbean American Art" from the American Biographical Institute.
