“My art is inspired by the creative essence, costumes, color and rhythm of modern Bahamian Junkanoo. I began experiencing this artistic spectacle even before I could walk. I have never gotten over it — it lives in my soul. It is who I am and what my art holds for the viewer ultimately.”

Keith Wisdom was born in Nassau, The Bahamas. Keith earned his B.Sc. in Drama and Theatre from Minnesota State University (Mankato). He went on to obtain an M.F.A. in Performance and Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the University of Georgia.

After years of involvement in the visual arts via theatrical productions and corporate advertising programs, Keith followed a “persistent urge” and began to draw and paint seriously. His Junkanoo-inspired, intricate paintings have been seen in private collections in Hungary, the United States, Canada and numerous Bahamian private and corporate collections.
