Caron video interview here.
Dominique Caron approaches her canvases with color, vigor and joy. Her studio is filled with paintings, pastels, watercolors, and gouaches. Every media was investigated and combined into large collage pieces on canvas. Sensual and airy, gentle and serene, her works suggest a luminous “art de vivre”.
Originally from France, Dominique studied art at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Bordeau and obtained her Masters of Fine Arts. She traveled for many years in Morocco, Rwanda, and the Ivory Coast. From her admiration of these cultures she created a body of work based on masks. She exhibited successfully in Africa and Europe and later moved to San Francisco where her works became larger, more varied in subject matter and even more colorful. Her work has been represented in many prominent galleries in Canada and the United States and is in major private and corporate collections.
