Dominique Prevost |
Short biography |
Dominique Prévost was born in Québec City and now resides in Oakville. A full-time artist, she has been showing extensively in the GTA since the early 80’s and her work can be found in many collections here and abroad. Recipient of multiple awards; among others three times for Best Watercolour Award at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair; she is also involved with many art associations: She is a Board Member of the Burlington Fine Arts Association, a Member of the Ontario Society of Artists and a Member of Propeller Art Gallery. Dominique considers all these affiliations to be her families; supportive communities where creativity strive, knowledge is shared and from which new worlds open up!
Dominique’s artworks are atmospheric abstracted assemblages inspired by nature. They are explorations of materiality that dance between the ephemeral and the permanent. Showcasing changing light, organic patterns, and stylized structures, each artwork is composed of multiple painted and manipulated papers.

Artist Statement |
“In the works, many patterns are at play. They are the ones found in our veins, rivers, trees and skies. I use lino printing, drawing, brush painting, rubbing and the Japanese marbling technique Suminagashi on a wide variety of papers to unearth their uniqueness and then engage in a formal dialogue of shapes, colours and patterns to make visible all the micro and macro connections between what’s above, below and within!”
Dominique uses watercolour, acrylic, ink, crayons and found material on a multitude of papers; ranging from exquisite handmade Japanese Washi papers and classical European watercolour papers to more utilitarian papers. |
