Jamaican artist janitor finds niche at Holyoke Community College
Elton Braithwaite, a Jamaican wood carver, teaches during the day and cleans at night at Holyoke Community College. The college president and maintenance head call him a treasure as his sculptures, once showcased in museums and chosen by Jamaica for an international tour, fuel his dual role. Braithwaite credits Christ and his craft, reflecting on a life which began in Jamaica with a chipped screwdriver shaping his first sculpture, now bridging art and service in Massachusetts.
