I was born December 23rd 1963 in Morocco of a Haitian mother and Hungarian father.

My sister and I were shuffled around quite a bit in our childhood, probably for the best because it made us very adaptable and broadened our horizon. Nevertheless, there still was a strong Haitian influence thanks primarily to our grandfather Jean Fouchard who was a Haitian historian.
My background in the arts therefore started mainly in the realm of literature and poetry.
I went to school in the States to pursue a career in filmmaking but got sidetracked in Photography. I became a darkroom rat, studied various techniques, primarily 19th century Platinum Palladium printing and received and MFA from the International Center of Photography and NYU.
