Lightbourn Realty is pleased to announce that two leading Bahamian artists have joined our sales team.

They are Ritchie and Roshanne Eyma. Roshanne's father, well-known artist and song writer Eddie Minnis, is our sales rep in Current, Eleuthera.

Roshanne was born on May 4, 1972. Her interest in art began early in life, but she started painting seriously in 1986. In 1988, she graduated from Queen's College with eight distinctions at G.C.E. O' Level, including Art.

She has received awards in several art competitions, including the Esso and Central Bank art contests. She has also participated in a number of joint exhibitions with her father, Eddie Minnis, and sister, Nicole, in Freeport (1988) and in Nassau (1990 and 1995).

In 1998, she married a fellow artist, Ritchie Eyma. They both serve as pioneer ministers of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Haitian community in Nassau, helping people improve their lives through Bible education.

Roshanne paints in oils and soft pastel. Her chief interest has been figure studies of local people in natural setings. She also enjoys nature studies and is fascinated by the beautiful Bahamian waters. Her paintings are presently in private collections in the Bahamas, Canada, and the United States.

Born in The Bahamas, Ritchie spent his formative years in Haiti. Thus his work reflects the influence of these two cultures. He started experimenting in acrylics, but oil is now his medium of choice. He loves the consistency and flexibility of oils and build up my paintings in layers of texture and colour.

Now the talented Eymas have embarked on another journey - real estate sales. With a strong love of the Bahamas and an appreciation for beauty, they are excited about using their skills to help people make one of the most important decisions of their lives - buying and selling real estate.
