He was awarded scholarships to study at Bath Academy of Art at Corsham from 1954–57 and Edinburgh School of Art from 1959–64, where he obtained an MA in Fine Art. Locke returned to Guyana in 1964 to become Art Master at Queen’s College in Georgetown, where he taught until 1969. He then received a bursary to return to Edinburgh School of Art to study ceramics, after which he moved to London, where he lived from 1970–78. In 1979, Locke was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in Sculpture at Arizona State University. He lived in Phoenix, Arizona until 1990 and then moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he lived until his death in 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrior UK solo exhibitions include:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePork Knocker Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, Nottingham Art Exchange and Wolverhampton Art Gallery (2009-2010) curated by Indra Khanna; and Commonwealth Institute, London (1975).
