About the ArtistWidline Cadet is a Haitian-born artist. Her photographs portray her dual identity as a transnational woman and a Black woman. These are complex and layered experiences that Cadet translates by composition and technique. She stages scenes of softness and relationship, duality and autonomy, focusing on the gaze and beauty of Black women of diasporic communities. Cadet draws from her personal history, as she examines memory, migration, erasure, and skin. She examines Haitian cultural identity, as reshaped within the United States. Cadet cues viewers to this blend of experience, through physical patterns and the posing of bodies as well as the choices of material attached to those bodies—such as gingham.
Cadet received the Museum of Contemporary Photography's 2020 Snider Prize first prize. She earned her B.A. in studio art from The City College of New York, and MFA from Syracuse University. Cadet lives and works in Los Angeles.

As you may have noticed, like most Life Magazine photo journalists I often used my family as models. Starting with their mom, they were all beautiful. One of my good clients was the national Blue Cross association. I did perhaps a dozen health booklets and several ads for them. For one of my illustrations of ambulance care- I used Florence who cheerfully, if uncomfortably, registered pain in a seemingly speeding ambulance (moving several feet in my driveway!)

Florence wouldn’t accept any child’s excuse for poor grades. Here she silently chides Richard. One of Florence’s key expressions to any of us in the family, she here applies in mock outrage, to Harmon: “You’re not going there dressed like this, are you?"
