Haitian art is justly famous for its vibrancy and often very original designs & motifs, rooted in the African part of many of it’s peoples but infused with a very real sense of Haiti’s own place in the world.
Jacques-Jean & Andre Francois are both artists, and have sold their own art for over ten years. Their shop was buried in the earthquake, and they both lost immediate family members. However they still have families to feed so they have rescued what they could from the devastation, and were open for business again less than two weeks after the earthquake first struck.
