| | Andrew Lyght |
 | | At the age of 14 he began to study painting, sculpture, and pottery at Queens College, Guyana, with Edward Burrowes, a pioneer modern artist, and served as his apprentice. |
 | | Moving to New York in 1978, he began to use new materials--canvas, bamboo, and twine--to cross the boundaries between painting and sculpture. |
 | | He is represented in public collections of the National Collection in Georgetown, Guyana, and the Centre Georges Pompidou of the Musèe National dArt Modern in Paris. |
