Dominique Chaponot is a artist photographer who resides in Douglasville, GA., she comes from a family that loves Art, any Art. Her father was a saxophonist, her Grands Parents won a Award in dance contest in Spain, her cousin is a jazz singer in Paris and her aunt is a painter in Cannes (France).
Her interest in the Arts was further cultivated when she entered a drawing contest and won a free Art lesson at the “Arts et Metiers” school in Paris. As a student, she went to the “Louvre’’ every month. She was especially interest in the painting she saw there.
She began taking photos for fun at the age of 15, and became more serious about photography in her thirties when her husband gave her a computer and introduced her to professional software, she fell in love with that.
Her photographic art often takes weeks to be able to create a final photo composite. But she is motivated to create a "Photographic Art Piece" that is unique; a work of art that is different than any other photographer and artist. This is not just a collage of photos, it's a Visual Language. Each composition is a story, another world. Her eyes and mind see the world as it exists and she create a new version of that world with her heart. A New World is born and she explore it with all her skills.
She's also paint, watercolors, oil, pencil, mixed media. Her background has given her a creative imagination, she likes moody, dramatic atmosphere where the mystery reigns.
Dominique has won numerous Awards for her photographs and paintings
