He lived and owned a business in Haiti for several years.While researching his family’s ancestors dating back to the 17th century, he became intrigued with the complexities and drama of St. Domingue, the colonial precursor to the Republic of Haiti.In-depth research into all aspects of history and colonial society led him to write this thrilling, enlightening, and entertaining story.Mr. Bayard is a Chief Marketing Officer for a major company, married with 4 children, blessed with 6 grandchildren, and resides in South Florida.About the Artist:Carl Craig is a notable, self taught Haitian-American portrait painter based in Broward County, and the current resident artist at The Storefront, Main Library, through February 2026."I believe that hope lies in the human spirit and, by capturing the balance between delicate facial expressions and body language of my subjects, my message is conveyed."-- Carl CraigCraig skillfully captures Haitian history and culture through representational oil paintings and bold, tantalizing colors. Craig has exhibited at national and international art fairs and galleries in Mexico, Cayenne, and South Florida. Craig's painting, GoudouGoudou 7.2, was the semi-finalist two years in a row in Bombay Sapphire's annual competition. Most recently, Craig collaborated with Haitian historian and scholar, Daniel J.D.
