Welcome to the Gallery!
Where my words fail, my brushes and colors enable me to express myself. I rarely approach a canvas with a plan, but rather I let my mind and emotions take over my hands. As a result, my creations are as variable as my life – ranging from whimsical to cynical and everything in between.
That said, my Haitian roots run deep and, without any intention of making it so, most of my pieces carry the “colors of home” – the bright and joyous colors that are so present in my beloved homeland.
It is my sincere hope that you’ll find these paintings as moving as I do.
All pieces are for sale and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have before buying.
Enjoy!
Smith
