J.E.Cadet was born on the 30th of January 1965 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where he still lives and works.  He began painting in 1978 with the young painter Janet Sanon.  For a relative newcomer, Cadet is selling extremely well;  his paintings can be found in many major galleries throughout the world.  From the realistic landscapes for which is he featured in the book "Haitian Painting", by Eva Pataki, he has progressed to paintings of landscapes in the soft dreamlike colours for which he is becoming famous.
