Steffani Jemmott is a Barbadian visual artist who is currently pursuing her
Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts at the Barbados Community College. Her medium of preference
has been acrylics. Growing up in the rural countryside of Barbados has had a major influence in
her admiration for nature and people, common features explored in her practice. Her deep
appreciation for community and culture at large are fundamental components in her paintings.
In her more contemporary work, her interest lies in the highlighting and bridging of similarities
between nature and humans whilst exploring the commonalities we face as humans in relation
to plants. Along her journey she has found solace through the utilization of flowers and the
many aspects in which we as humans can relate to them. She employs flowers into her more
recent and contemporary work to explore these relationships.
In 2019, she participated in the community group project with EcoRebel “Bins Fuh Bim” in the
painting of garbage cans in her hometown Bathsheba. Her work has been exhibited in the
Gallery of Caribbean Art and she has also recently been featured in Yello Interview.
