Expressions of Gusten-Marr
What’s Theresa Roberts been up to? Lots, as you can well imagine.
Roberts, in her capacity as founder of Art Jamaica, recently curated Expressions, her first exhibition for another minority notably Liberian artist Sarah Gusten-Marr at the Gallery GM.
The exclusive view, held in Cork St Mayfair, as well as the exhibition were a critical and commercial triumph.
