Search for:

Haiti a nation long known for unrest, deadly disasters and immense poverty.

But from this life of hardship a group of artists is capturing the story of Haiti on canvas.

From humble beginnings artists from the Haitian slums, like Michael Dumain, are winning fame and some fortune for their art.

[Michael Dumain, Artist]:

"Quite frankly, I am most comfortable when I am painting, that is when I feel truly inspired, when I am painting, the act of painting can lift me up of my sadness provides me with joy and hope. One day, I would like to get more than money from my painting but to give the world a glimpse of a worthy Haitian, to use painting as a tool to show the world the positive side of Haitians."
