ARTIST'S STATEMENT //
I am an accomplished artist having studied art in college and then extensively with Haitian masters such as Roland Dorcely, Tiga, and Arijac, in Haiti. After 25 years of practicing several aspects of art, I discovered photography and absolutely fell in love with it. Although I consider myself to be autodidact, I have taken many courses with renowned photographers, notably with street photographer Eric Kim. I specialise in abstract street photography and I find Haiti to be a hotspot and very fertile ground for my craft. I am fascinated by the human condition, the ironies, the contradictions and the darker sides of life. I am also very passionate about documenting social causes.
Currently I am studying Curation and Abstract Post Modern Art/Photography. I also adore music and cooking, and try to incorporate them into my love of photography. I am single mom, my two kids and my dog are my very best friends.
