Since early childhood, Florence has had a<br />
profound interest in the world around her. She was<br />
a very artistic child who always had a paintbrush<br />
in her hand. Her hunger for advanced training in<br />
this field continued to grow. This led her to seek<br />
workshops at the Centre d’Art Haitien and other<br />
Haitian art venues. While attending the center,<br />
Florence met Frank Louissaint, a hyper-realism<br />
artist, who supported her throughout her creative<br />
journey. Afterward, she gained recognition for<br />
her artistic excellence when one of her paintings<br />
was included in an exhibition at the Musee<br />
d’Art Haitien du College St Pierre. Florence also<br />
participated in multiple art contests such as the<br />
UNICEF Child Fund where she won first place. After<br />
moving to the United States, Florence continues<br />
to draw and paint in her spare time. Although<br />
her professional career as a Pediatrician is very<br />
demanding, Florence proves it is possible to<br />
balance the time commitment of being a doctor<br />
and another hobby or passion. With the support<br />
of her children, the undeniable encouragement<br />
from her husband, and the feedback from family,<br />
and friends, Florence continues to paint, to create,<br />
to dream.<br />
“ if something is still missing in your life, you<br />
should pursue it, after all, you have one shot<br />
on earth.”<br />
