The Waitukubuli Artist Association (WAA)  member, Sarama Rolle, won the Republic Bank art competition in the category TISP: The Future: Protected.  

Rolle did a digital piece which she felt represented the benefit of TISP.  

 Rolle said she enjoyed creating the piece because she loves colorful and lively nature scenes and I wanted it to be “fun and humorous to viewers.” 

From a young age, Rolle always loved art and had a “knack” for it. She spent a lot of time drawing and doodling in the back of my exercise books. 

“I used to look at my father’s paintings, and the paintings of other artists in Dominica, and be completely amazed. I started digital art in my late teens and started painting about 5 years ago,”  she said in an interview. 

Shortly after she started painting and joined the WAA. Rolle became deeper into painting, gaining experience and knowledge from murals and working with other experienced artists.  

“Since then I’ve been doing art steadily, my main medium being acrylic paint.  I mainly do modern realism and my works are often vivid and positively charged. I also enjoy creating artworks inspired by the human figure, nature and scenes that tell a story.” 

Her goal is to become the best artist that she can be as she continues to create, research and improve my understanding and techniques,
