Silk, Acrylic, Chalk, Water and Oil Painter – Geometry, Math, Chemistry, Science, French Teacher-Choir Singer and Ballroom Dancer
I am all you see enumerated in my title. I love all forms of art and embrace the arts to create many forms of silk, acrylic, water, chalk and oil paintings.

My art is inspired by God’s works. My artistic expression exemplifies my love for the aesthetic beauty found in nature. The goal of my paintings is to emanate an exuberance that draws attention with bright, bold colors and just a touch of nature’s vibe. Art is my way out of reality, I hope you will escape with me.

I have spent most of my life painting in the United States. I am currently living and gathering inspiration in the Palmetto Bay Community. My paintings, however, are rooted in the art-style of my native country, Haiti. I challenge myself to mix the Haitian Naif style with a unique blend of Impressionism, Realism, Surrealism, Fauvism, Cubism and my latest attraction, the world of Abstraction.
