Since taking on painting full time in 2003, Dominique Fortin has found her niche in a dream-like representation of the human character. Trained at the Saint-Laurent Cegep as well as at the Sud-Ouest School of Crafts with a focus on jewellery, it is easy to see how the creative nature of her thought process is translated onto her canvases.
Fortin has concentrated her efforts in trying to find a way to represent human nature so that it resonates with the inner conscience of her audience. Her paintings, though sometimes referred to as naïve, are a “sort of study of the human soul in a contemporary style, while at the same time full of raw emotion and romanticism”. Fortin suggests that her works, at one point, were a representation of reality, but as her artistic style has progressed, she finds herself captured within a dream-like world where the characters are not actors on a stage but rather the catalysts of unsolicited emotion, available only to the human conscience within the safeguard of individual minds.
Hi, my name is Brodie and I love to run! I wake up at 7 and run! Then I take a nap and run some more! My favorite toy is my squeaky ball, and I know it bothers my family, but I still squeak it. I love to play with my cousin, Breezy, also a springer. My family loves me so much. Sometimes I get so energized, I run around the house in circles for an hour. Then I take another nap. My favorite game is fetch, but sometimes I don't want to let go of the ball! I already know how to sit, give paw, lie down, go in the crate, and ring the bells to go outside. I'm looking forward to going to the beach and going kayaking with my daddy again. That was fun!
