Jackson Baptiste was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He began painting at
the age of 13. Not long after, he abandoned painting with brushes in
favor of razor blades and palette knives, which lent a certain
transparency and uniqueness to his paintings. Mostly self-taught, he is
inspired by the work of Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir. Like
these master artists, he too paints using the impressionistic style on
canvas. His favorite subjects are seascapes and scenes of peasant life.
Baptiste currently resides in Alpharetta, GA. He holds a BS degree in
Finance and a Master's degree in International Business. Outside his
love for painting, he enjoys playing soccer, tennis, basketball
and judo. |
