Birth in Montreal in 1974.

Formed in Fine Arts at the Saint-Laurent Cegep (1997), as well as in Jewelry at the Sud-Ouest School of Crafts (2000).

Paints full-time since 2003 and was Chief Planner of her numerous expos from 2004 to 2008, her first year in a gallery.

Dominique's work is centered towards human characters. Her painting, sometimes naive, sometimes more abstract, is «a sort of study of the human soul in a contemporary style, but full of the emotions of romanticism.» It once depicted reality, but today, it has something of the exoticism of fairy-like dreams, where the characters are actors but also the catalysts of emotion.

Modern Art with its sensuality, its use of lines, movement and ornamentation was of great influence in her first years' pictural vision. But since the beginning, continuously exploring new horizons, Dominique has tried to free herself of her influences, using everything that she can grab to embellish her paintings with bursts of color, textures and media, making her way to find her own symbolic language.

Today, her vision is centered towards childhood, this paradise lost for adulthood that she idealizes because she's constantly brought back to it by her own children. Painting their unfailing joy of life, candor and imagination, Dominique also tries to answer those fundamental questions that are "who are we?", "where do we go?"
