Having 9 mouths to feed and a dying husband, it became obvious to his mother and to Bernard that the family needed more income than her wages as a saleswoman could provide. With that realization, an artist was created. “My father was an artist. I started watching him when I was young. He showed me how to do it,” he explains in halting English. “My first job was cutting with Yonel Brutus, Winston Cajuste, and Nicolson Mathieu. Now I work with Evenson Thenor. They help me get contacts and manage my tools,” says Bernard. He continues, “I like the work of (second generation master) Serge Jolimeau. I work on his style. But my designs are special. I love them. They come from my mind and my soul.” His inspirations spring from, “nature and sometimes angels.” Clearly, his sense of humor finds form as well, as evidenced in his sun-faced designs with angels, mermaids, or boys at play. Each one is meticulously crafted, with intricate beading and texture executed throughout each piece. Bernard takes great pride in his work and sees its potential. “I love this art. I want to be a well-known artist, have my big own shop, and help other people in my zone.
