Samson Tonton
I was born and rise in Haiti; I am the fifth child of seven children.We were rise by a single mother; Marie G. Tonton who came here for a better life in1998. She managed to bring us in America. I came in USA in 2007 I was like 26years old and all I wanted to do was to draw and to paint. To be honest I wanted to studied fine art unfortunately when I came here, I didn’t have the patience to wait and understand the system, so in June 2008, I went to college at the New England Institute of Art in Boston MA to studied fine art, little that I know I was in the wrong major, but I was so stubborn when I found out about it I didn’t want to quit so I managed to finish it, it is Media Art and Animation don’t get me wrong it’s a fantastic major but it isn’t for me I couldn’t stand staying in front a computer for hours and hours. However, I can spend months working on a painting. I speak English, French and Haitian creole fluently. I am a married man with two daughters Eude and Skylha Tonton. I am a strong believer of God. Now I live in Norwich Connecticut a very quiet area, I have been there for almost10 years I have to say that I love it here.
