She, along with the Gallery's staff, is busily preparing for the Bermuda National Gallery's biennial slated for next year. Ms. Cressall has been the curator of the Bermuda National Gallery for the past six years now. She has many hopes and dreams for the future of Bermudian art and for Bermuda's artists. Her insights give us a glimpse into the world of art as it now exists in Bermuda. A short paragraph is excerpt from her curator's foreword in the Bermuda National Gallery's 2010 Biennial catalogue which best explains Bermuda's contemporary art: less

Her styles vary from highly personalized surrealism, to contemporary, and to a more, as she describes it, "flexible Imaginative Cultural Potpourri", with abstract nuances painted mostly in oil. Her interests are in Yoga, Shiatzu, and Indian Philosophies, which she incorporates into her creative work and personality.

Dr. James is a change agent, someone of action, who has been in the driver seat to move Caribbean Art forward, and to facilitate the conversations taking place. Although she is leaving the NGB for a different calling at Yale, her heart and soul will remain with the Caribbean, to keep pushing the agenda and to position the Caribbean as the next big art market that the world has yet to experience. Inspirational, motivational, and activist is how I would describe Erica James, someone that has and continues to make a difference in how we see Caribbean Art. less

"Caribbean: Crossroads of the World" is El Museo's 2012 project being organized in partnership with the Queens Museum of Art and The Studio Museum of Harlem. It is the largest and most ambitious Caribbean art projects that the museum has undertaken since it was founded in 1969. It also serves to indicate the shift that El Museo is making to incorporate the larger Caribbean in its representation, which in the past has focused more on the Spanish Caribbean. Ms. Delvalle and her team are geared up for what may become, because of its scope, one of the best and most comprehensive Caribbean art and culture exhibits ever put together by a museum around the world. less
