Minerva Minnettie hail from the picturesque town of Mandeville-Manchester, Jamaica. From a tender age, she discovered the world through the lens of creativity, a spark that ignited her lifelong passion for artistic expression. At the age of six, she crafted her very first toy, weaving together natural elements like earth, wood, fabric, and hair. This early experience laid the foundation for her artistic journey, and she continuously explored and expanded her creative horizons.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse spectrum of influences, she finds particularly captivated by the harmonious interplay of colors, the eloquence of shapes, and the symphony of sounds that nature so generously offers. However, her creative palette extends beyond nature, encompassing the realms of music, human interactions, and the intriguing lives of animals. This rich tapestry of inspiration fuels her creativity and lends a unique essence to each piece she create.

Minerva pursuit of excellence led her to the art academy in Trier, where she honed her skills through rigorous training and exposure to various artistic techniques. While formal education played a pivotal role, much of her growth has been self-directed, as she explored new mediums, experimented with diverse materials, and delved into innovative techniques. Today, her artistic toolkit includes a harmonious blend of oil and acrylic paints, the lustrous allure of gold leaf, the tactile texture of sand and coffee, the organic warmth of wood, the rustic charm of rust effects, and the versatile embrace of gels and stone.

Above all, her art is a conduit to transport the viewer into her world, if only for a fleeting moment. Her ultimate aspiration is to create an emotional connection, to evoke a response, and to enable the beholder to experience a piece of her soul woven into each creation. As she prepare to present her collections at the FIWI Fashion fashion show Negril, Jamaica December 7th, 2024. She is eager to share these pieces of her heart and imagination with the world.
