Guided by two of Haiti's most esteemed artists—the late Bernard Séjourné and Jean-Claude Legagneur—she honed her craft, eventually producing what critics have hailed as 'visual literature,' \"Indigenous Art,' Colors that Speak,' and 'Shapes that Implore.' She won many awards and prizes, and numerous solo and group exhibitions in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Chicago, Port-au-Prince, Montreal, and Taiwan have marked her artistic journey. Hersza's soul creates the shape of what's to come even before she thinks of it. Her inspiration comes from the love and understanding of her ancestors. Her spirituality is not limited to one's orientation; she believes all humans are a component of a \"One\" and that all is in One as One is in all. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLivre d'Or- 1804-2004 Bicentenaire de La Republique d'Haiti\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" published four of Heza Barjon's paintings.  In May 2004, the Miami-Dade County Office of the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners presented to Myriam F.
