The painting captures the raw, unpredictable journey of childbirth, portraying the intensity of a labor that deviates from its idealized vision. Deep reds and stormy layers evoke the primal forces of fear, pain, and surrender. This work invites us to reconsider the nature of childbirth, motherhood, and resilience, acknowledging both the pain and the beauty that emerge when plans fall apart.
Boudreault's paintings showcase a simplified figurative approach to balance her overthinking mind. Her work reveals textured color mixes, intricate color palettes and layers of depth blending deliberate, weighty brushstrokes with spontaneous, diluted ones—outcomes of an introspective process.
