Tessa Whitehead is a multi-media artist, whose work explores her internal experience in conversation with the tropical landscape. Her paintings, drawings, and sculptures combine and contrast elements of the Bahamian landscape with surreal figures and familial portraits. The result is an autobiographical perspective of femininity and womanhood.
