Belmont, in north-east Port of Spain, in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, is located at the foot of the Laventille Hills; it was the city's first suburb.

In the 1840s–'50s, parts of the area were settled by Africans rescued by the Royal Navy from illegal slaving ships.

In the 1880s–'90s, the population swelled rapidly, and the characteristic Belmont street pattern of narrow, winding lanes developed.

Some of his works are on display at the Unit Trust Corporation Head Office on Independence Square, Port of Spain.

In 1998, he was the first to be conferred the title Master Artist by the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago.
