It's Cactus Metal Art Haiti

Artist Bio
Jean Claude Soulouque
Whenever I think of going to Jean Claude Soulouque's house, I think, "Have a Coke and a smile." At his home, you can always count on both. A warmer, more gracious man, I cannot imagine.

Through his art he has supported his own family, putting both his son and his daughter through school. He is a community leader and role model for many young artists who hope to follow in his footsteps.
As for his own son, Roody "plays around" a little bit with metal sculpture, but sees his future in the business world. He is currently attending business school and also is employed by It's Cactus as our Inventory and Shipments Manager.
