Demme enjoyed collecting less known artists, particularly from the early years of the Centre d'Art (Port-au-Prince, Haiti). Demme exhibited these paintings at his home and in public venues alongside well known Haitian artists and equally celebrated them. Only a handful of paintings are known by Ledaim and little information about him is available. Ledaim's interior scenes and powerful Vodou depictions rival (and possibly exceed) those of his better known contemporaries.
