Connie Desaulniers specializes in acrylic paintings on canvas, and often combines other media such as clay, glass, mirrors and mosaic.  Inspired by personal experience and an active imagination, Connie wants to involve the viewer in her paintings - figuratively by evoking an emotion, and often literally by bringing the art out of the wall and into the viewer's space. Landscapes, figures, still life, as well as her signature 3-dimensional paintings - with body parts, animals or objects (sometimes kinetic) are part of her genre.

A graduate of The College of William and Mary with a B.A. in Fine Arts, Connie spent the following years in a marketing career that started at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg and culminated with her own business.  During that time, painting was a hobby and a passion, and she developed a body of work that was shown at the renowned Nancy Thomas Art Gallery in Yorktown, VA in 1999.
In 2003, she decided to focus her attention on art.  After progressively resigning most marketing clients, she began painting full time in May 2005. She now has over 130 collectors located from New York to Hawaii.
