    Indigo Arts Gallery celebrates the artistic genius and the indomitable spirit of the Haitian people, with a continually changing collection of Haitian paintings. We fell in love with the art and people of Haiti on our first visit over thirty years ago. While our focus is on artists actively working today, we also have a stock of paintings from the 50's through the 90's that we have collected in Haiti over the years or acquired from estates and collections. A sampling of the artists we may carry includes: Montas Antoine, Seymour Bottex, Gerald Bruny, Gelin Buteau, Wilmino Domond, Gervais Emmanuel Ducasse, Préfète Duffaut,  Gerard Fortuné, Jacques Enguerrand Gourgue, Alexandre Gregoire, Guyodo (Frantz Jacques),  Gabriel Leveque, Dieuseul Paul, Gerard Paul, Manno Paul, Prosper Pierre-Louis, Denis Smith, Louisiane St. Fleurant, Pierre-Joseph Valcin, Julien Valery, Jacques Valmidor and Wagler Vital.
