 Wilson Bigaud
 Born in 1931 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Wilson Bigaud began his career as a sculptor but later switched to painting. His famous mural "Wedding of Cana" in the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Port-au-Prince was painted in 1950/51. He won second prize for his 1950 painting "Paradise" which was then purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is part of their permanent collection.  By the late 1950s he was suffering from severe depression and nearly stopped painting altogether but began again in the early 1960s.  He is famous for depicting daily Haitian life - especially weddings.
