I’m pleased to have a piece of writing about Jean Rhys in the current issue of Arty Magazine, ‘Islands‘ ,along with several paintings of her, including the one above. Rhys was born on the island of Dominica, where she lived for the first sixteen years of her life. Subsequently she lived mostly in England and only re-visited Dominica once during her life, however the island’s climate, culture and landscape remained vivid in her imagination and powerfully influenced her novels, especially her best known work ‘Wide Sargasso Sea’.
