I will be out of town from July 9th to 17th, and so will not be shipping orders or open for visitors at the gallery. The Indigo Arts website will be active as always. I will respond to emails as soon as possible. I will be able to ship orders after July 17th, 2025.

Adam Leontus

Adam Leontus was born in April, 1923 into a family of nine children either in Anse-å-Galet on the island of La Gonave or in Port-au-Prince. Formerly a dockworker, he was "discovered" through wall paintings he had created in a Vodou temple in a port section of Port-au-Prince, and joined the Centre d'Art shortly thereafter in 1947. He contributed a mural depicting "The Annunciation" at the Episcopal Cathedral of Sainte Trinité in Port-au-Prince during the 1950's. He painted until his death May 1, 1986.
