artistic expression,
continuing to carve occasionally for many years.
His rich and varied canvases most often portraying Haitian women are reminiscent of his

His subjects, women, animals, owls, market women and his "sun and moon faces" are bold,
intensely colored, and dramatic.
He also
painted voodoo scenes with surreal overtones.

his paintings have also been shown in the
Unit
ed States,
France and Germany. Roger Francois died in 2013
