Margaret Nock Rodriguez

My paintings are vibrant and joyous, a reflection of who I am and my life in the Caribbean.

I’m Margaret Nock Rodriguez ... a Trini who has chosen to live in sunny Barbados; a retired interior architect, creative planner, traveller and collector of “treasures”

I retired young due to a degenerative condition, Retinitis Pigmentosa, and I am now considered legally blind. I turned this potential career-ending condition into an opportunity to travel, enjoying a variety of cultural and artistic adventures, over the past few years. These experiences, combined with my shrinking field of vision, have challenged me to experiment with other mediums including acrylics, mixed media, collage, mosaics, and pottery and to embrace my newest passion - teaching.

While my Trini “joie de vie” continues to be reflected in my vivid colours, my recent works reflect a less structured, increasingly abstract impressionistic style.
