Jasmin Joseph

Born in Grande Riviere du Nord in 1923, he started sculpting clay figurines while working at a brick factory. He was soon discovered by Jason Seley and commissioned to create the choir screen for the St Trinity Cathedral in Port-au-Prince. After finding out that someone had made molds of some of his pieces to copy and sell them, he renounced sculpture and became a painter. His art is included in major Museum collections in the United States.
