Her work is the direct outpouring of a vibrant personality, a love for life, and a spirit of hopefulness amidst life’s challenges.
“This exhibition is an opulent demonstration of Dominique Boutaud’s exploratory approach to the fluidity, density, and color intensity of oil paint; its tendency to blend and retract; its transparency, opacity, and reflectivity; its amenability to bold application,” says Sister Theresa Couture, Director of the Art Gallery at 麻豆传媒映画. “The result is an impression of energy and an illusion of movement balanced by a sense of tranquility, equilibrium, and mindful grace.”

The Art Gallery is located on the second floor of Memorial Hall on the 麻豆传媒映画 campus at 420 South Main Street in Nashua.
