Born at Babonneau on the 15th of April 1942, Vincent Joseph Eudovic at the age often was a student at Gros Islet's Primary School. He started

sculpturing at a very young age and competed in his first exhibition, when he was 12 years of age. His piece of sculpture, named "ALI BABA" won first prize at this exhibition, which was fifteen dollars(EC).

From then on Eudovic was set in his voca-tion and at the end of his schooling, he migrated to Trinidad. There he became a protege of Ricardo Vincente where he continued his stud-ies in sculpturing for a period often years. During this time he competed at various exhibitions and won several prizes.

After returning to St. Lucia Eudovic was employed by the Government to teach the art to others, but he felt he still had more to leam in his field so he applied for a UN scholarship, hoping to travel to some country where he could perfect his skills. The United Nations proposed Nigeria Africa, where he would study for seven months. This was the biggest experience in his life. In Nigeria Eudovic discovered many extraordinary artists who taught and influenced him a great deal. He first studied monumental sculpture with artists who worked on gigantic pieces almost twenty feet high. After he was initiated into the traditional art of Yoruba, he studied the artistic symbols of the people and their tradition of sculpturing which is old and very elaborate. He also studied modern art while there.

When Eudovic returned to St. Lucia he continued to work with the government, teaching many young men the art of sculpturing. He also held workshops around the Caribbean. He gradually moved on to form his own Gallery and workshop which is situated at Goodlands, Castries.

After a few years, he stopped teaching large groups of students, to concentrate mainly on producing work for exhibitions. He holds approximately three exhibitions per year.

Eudovic uses local woods for his abstract carvings, and since no two roots are the same every single sculpture is unique and different. The main wood he uses is Laurier Canelle which is now extinct, but uses the old stumps and uncovered roots which are usually found deep in the forest. This Laurier Canelle has a remarkable beauty which one can see after a sculpture has been completed. It is also very durable. Other woods he uses are Mahogany, Teak, Laurier Mabouey and red and white Cedar.
