About

Painter and scientist

Gerald Domingue is an admirer of nature - its forms, colors and mysteries. He developed an interest in painting and science in early childhood, a passion which he has continually nurtured since the 1940's. He grew up in rural, Acadian, southwestern Louisiana surrounded by nature's beauty and mysteries, an exposure which undoubtedly influenced his development as a painter/scientist and stimulated his imagination and creative ability. He was educated as a medical scientist; pursued a career for thirty-three years in university academics and scientific research, and is internationally distinguished as a medical researcher and scholar. This autodidactic artist painted on a limited basis throughout his educational training and professional life.
