had a taste of Haitian
Art and raised support
for education and health
care benefiting underprivileged
children in Haiti. “Despite
whatever is happening
in Haiti, through its
art and artists, I want
to promote the beauty
of my country, and the
people’s energy and daily
life struggles while helping
underprivileged children
get education and health
care” Louis- Marc Lazarre
said. He also announced
the opening of the Flavors
of Haiti Fine Arts and
Crafts Gallery at 111

| All
of the art displayed were produced
by Haitian artists. Artwork
ranged from watercolor and oil
on canvas to sculptures, handmade
crafts, and ceramic wall decorations.
The artists’ love of nature
and humanity’s connection with
its natural surroundings were
seen through the beautiful and
unique use of colors and sketches.
Petion Frntz, a native artist
of Haiti said: “My paintings
express the beauty of nature
and its overwhelming impact
upon human beings.” Frntz grew
up on a farm in Haiti and felt
in love with nature at an early
age. He has been painting for
over twenty years, and his paintings
were exhibited in Paris, Cota
Voir, and the Dominican Republic.
The
two most interesting art works
were “the Kennedy,” a painting
of John F. Kennedy’s face
made from recycled drum, and
“The American Flag.” Other
paintings captured much of
the reality of Haitian daily
life and religious practices
while giving the viewers a
sense of being present with
the artist’s thoughts and
feelings.
VASE

with Mercedes Arensberg managed
the show and provided all
the logistics, marketing and
pr for the event. Vincencia
Adusei, the president of VASE

“This is our first art show
