Mercedes Nugent-Head

About the Artist

​Mercedes Nugent-Head is a French-Caribbean artist born on the island of Guadeloupe. Her artistic journey reflects both a deep academic foundation and a profound engagement with her cultural heritage.


After five years working in fundraising for museums and theaters, she joined the Art Students League of New York in 2000, where she spent a decade immersed in drawing, painting, color theory, and composition. Her studies were further enriched by seminars at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, grounding her practice in both European traditions and a transatlantic perspective.
