With the encouragement of his older brother, Caleb, 10- year- old Kendy Bellony took hammer and chisel in hand and began the practice of “coupe de fer” or cutting iron. At the time, he was attending school, along with his two younger sisters. Their father had died and the extra income that Kendy could provide was vital to the family.

“Caleb saw that I was very intelligent and could make beautiful designs. By age 15, I was selling my pieces in the shop of my uncle. I also sold in a gallery in Petionville. I had a lot of big customers. Then Caleb gave me more good advice. He said I should send samples to Casey Riddell of It's Cactus. So I did that. Now she is buying my work to sell in the United States. She is my patronne, and I am very happy about that!”
