Micius Stephane was born in 1912 in Bainet, on the Caribbean coast of Haiti. He worked as a cobbler and amateur sculptor. He joined the Centre d'Art in 1946 at the encouragement of DeWitt Peters, subsequently moving to Port-au-Prince in 1956. Between 1961 and 1979, Stephane exhibited in the U.S. and Europe.
He is credited with having brought Edger Jean-Baptiste to the Centre d’Art. His son, Peters Stephane, and his daughter, Edith Stephane, are also painters.
