I am an Artist...

I work mostly in oil pastels, mixed media, and acrylics. I enjoy oil pastels due to the fact that I get to blend the colors with my fingertips, I love the feel of being closer to and becoming part of what I create. I even find myself using my fingers while painting with acrylics on canvas now. I hope not to lose that connection with my art, even when it's sold to a client. I want it to always express who I really am.

My Style?
In most of my work I use bright vivid colors, being Haitian plays a large role in this... but is that my style? I'm not sure, I'm still growing, learning and aging along with my craft. I am an artist and that is my what makes me me feel the most alive. My favorite artists are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Lois Mailou Jones, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, Renoir and many others. Most of all, I have a very long list of Haitian artists and African American artists that inspire me.

I am a Haitian Artist but my style is ever changing. » Click here to continue reading bio.
