Eventually he ended up in Montreal where he hit the books at University of Loyola. He rose in the art world and was extended an invitation by Paris's École Nationale Supérieure des Beaus-Arts to study there. He experienced some modest success during his stay of 11 years, but remained on the fringes of the art scene.

Duval-Carrie has shown his work at art galleries and museums such as Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, Center for the Fine Arts, and Little Haiti Cultural Center. He has been an artist-in-residence at Duke University and done post-graduate work at Brown University.
