"The Father of Caribbean Impressionism" 
Sir Roland Richardson uplifts our spirits with his light-filled artwork of our Caribbean landscape, people, culture and traditions. His colorful "Plein Air" paintings, created always on location, from a living subject, have earned him historic recognition as the "Father of Caribbean Impressionism" with over 45 years of work in original oil, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, etching and more. A native of St. Martin, French West Indies, Richardson's family heritage dates back to early 1700's on the island. His Marigot gallery is a unique, joyful experience, offering visitors a glimpse to the past with 18th and 19th century architecture, artifacts, flower-filled courtyard garden, and wall-to-wall magnificent art...
