The Next generation...

Frantzy Valmidor was born in Port-au-Prince. He is a younger brother of the late, great, JacquesValmidor .
Frantzy's aunt, Antoinette, better known as "Josie", was the cook and major domo at the Galerie Issa for more than 30 years
and a wonderful artist in her own right.

As a child, Frantzy came to the Galerie frequently and was exposed to the thousands of paintings that live there and the scores of artists that circulate through the place. Frantzy, has begun to paint recently, since the passing of Jacques, he is making pleasant, positive, paintings; whimsical paintings that are relatively inexpensive and delghtful. It will be interesting to watch him grow.
