ABOUT beverly

Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Beverly Valdez`s Caribbean background has had a profound impact on her life and her art. After graduating from Bishop Anstey High School in Trinidad, Beverly moved to the United States to study art at Howard University in Washington, D.C. There, she received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, graduating summa cum laude. She continued her education at Howard and earned a master’s of fine arts degree.

Beverly began her career as a graphic designer. For more than 25 years she worked as a Graphic Design Manager and Creative Director in the design and communications field. Beverly has exhibited her artwork in several group shows in the United States. Beverly recently exhibited her work in a solo show in Trinidad. Her paintings are to be found in collections in the USA and the Caribbean. In 2018 Beverly began painting as a full-time artist. 

The color, energy, and vibrancy of Trinidad’s Carnival have been a constant source of stimulus for Beverly’s work. Her greatest inspiration, however, is derived from her love of the Caribbean, with its rich culture, dramatic coastlines, and colonial architecture. Her work reflects the pulsating energy and color that define Caribbean culture, geography, and landscape. Beverly works in acrylics, watercolor, and mixed media on paper, canvas, and wood.
