Biography:

Lloyd has always been surrounded by art and culture, watching, absorbing and learning. His skin-brothers Norman and Tango Lane, as well as Franklyn are always painting around him, and have encouraged Lloyd to try his hand at painting. To date he has only experimented with smaller canvas sizes, using acrylic paints and traditional handmade Jarlk reed brushes.
