Truly lovely pieces of art you will be proud to own.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: 23 year old Wilnot Mercier resides in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and desires deeply to go to school to be a pastor. When he was only 19 he adopted a son who is now 4 years old. Wilnot has painted to make his way in the world since 2005. With 2 brothers and 6 sisters to care for, Wilnot’s father, a farmer, was not able to provide enough to send Wilnot to school, so Wilnot picked up a paint brush and put himself through high school selling his paintings. “It is a gift” he says simply.
He recounts that he began going to church because others he knew were going. Then one day he was invited to Sunday School. There he encountered Jesus and began to understand salvation and God’s love for him. He would like to help build houses for people that are still devastated from the earthquake and he sees his role as a future pastor through the lens of deep responsibility; he believes he is meant to provide for the orphans, and care for the widows and widowers devastated by the earthquake of.
