Ludie

My work explores ones’ relationship oneself and multimedia experiences that influence us as multifaceted beings.
My art is mostly acrylic on canvas, watercolor and pastel on paper as well as pigment on live (human) canvas. My signature work consists of brightly colored portraits, semi-precious stones and collected objects. I experiment with the real and surreal, contemporary and abstract. Outside of commissioned works, many of the portraits are various aspects of myself. 
With influences ranging from Haitian street art to Matisse, new insights are created from both orderly and random ideas of the human experience. My art is meant to remind viewers to close their physical eyes and get to know yourself. I hope to leave the viewer with a sense of hope in knowing that you are uniquely gifted, and the world needs you.

Who are you when you are alone, outside of your job, your race, society, your circumstance, outside of your body?
You are more.
