Stanwyck Cromwell is a Guyanese-born contemporary visual artist and an adjunct art professor at Capital Community College. He has lived and worked in the United States of America for the vast majority of his adult life.  Cromwell uses his Guyanese past, including cultural and religious practices as hybrids for his Guyanese-American experiences. His work is an embodiment of all these experiences, using multi-media and color to explore new artistic horizons.
