Stephen Burrows: Portrait of a Sculptor | Conch Salad TV

A profile of unsung sculptor Stephen Burrows, who created the unique steel creatures that decorate four different islands of The Bahamas: Exuma, San Salvador, Abaco and Nassau. Mr. Burrows donated his art to the country, the only payment he received was in the form of scholarships for Bahamian students. Although retired from BEC, the artist hasn't given up his dreams of creating one more final, giant sculpture.

i down with da lobster. I really thought he got paid for doing them. Gweeezzzz. Let dat did been one foreigner, money galore!!!!!!!! I am a young artist studying at the College of the Bahamas to be an art teacher. I thought only us would receive insufficient support publicly in art but a seasoned talent Bahamian artist like Mr. Burrows too??? Mannnnn things have to change. They have, but seriously we are still too far behind in improvements, innovation and feeding the national spirit through ar

I think a giant lobster restaurant in Nassau is a good ting! "Lets say you got da Eiffel Tour, you get the Statue of Liberty, why the hell the bahamas cant do a big Lobster?" National identity, Genius!!
