Brooklyn-based fine artist W. Henry Eccleston brings a multitude of talents and training to his vibrant art. Owner of the I-Art I Gallery on Glenwood Road, Eccleston is a native of Jamaica, raised in the rough tropical launching pad of Trench Town, the area tha
t nurtured dozens of world class artists and musicians such as Bob Marley. He won a scholarship to Jamaican School Of Art, and graduated in 1971 from the Island's prestigious Jamaica School Of Art (now known as The Edna Manley College of The Visual and Performing Arts). He then began working for several international companies as both graphic designer and illustrator. In 1974 he migrated to New York, where he did postgraduate work at N.Y.U. and Pratt Institute. Many prominent collectors such as former New York City Mayor David Dinkins own a Eccleston piece, and his work has been displayed in venues from the Jamaica National Gallery, to the Javits Federal Building, Manhattan Community College, the African American Museum, and his own I Art I Gallery in Brooklyn. In addition to several scholarships in Jamaica, he has also received the Edna Manley Award for Excellence in the Arts, and is a founding member and former president of the Association of Caribbean-American Artists, Inc. He has made frequent radio and television appearances, and can be heard bi-weekly as co-host of the "Midnight Ravers" program on WBAI in New York, for which he received a coveted National Golden Reel Award in 2003.
