I am an artist plain and simple. Nature inspires the arts I make.
I am an artist inspired by the beauty of nature and to me nature is everything including us humans as we are part of nature. I believe nature permeates and comprises everything we see around us and I deviate from the simplistic understanding of nature to include humanity as well. I utilize paint on canvas to convey my view of the world, capturing everything from major systems in nature and people to the small moments that make up every day. Art is all about helping others see the world as you see it and gain a better understanding of their own world.

Born and raised in a small town in Haiti. I’ve been drawing, doodling ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil. Originally, I believed I wanted to be an animator and received my degree from The New England Institute of Art in Boston, however, I now know I prefer more involved forms of creation– not computer-assisted.
After graduating, I decided I wanted to go back to what I love most: drawing and painting. I often stay up for hours at a time until the canvas in front of me reflects what I see in my mind’s eye. I use my artwork to push bigger conversations on beauty and show a representation of all people.
I am grateful to be in a space where I am still learning but also in community with other artists, teaching both young students and working with people my age. I am always looking to connect with new artists and attend events where we can be in community.
I am available for custom works, but I only take a handful of projects at a time. Please also reach out for exclusive NFTs, portraits and works of art for your home.
