In 1994, Marie-Denise Douyon teaches visual art in elementary schools and high schools. The artworks of this period, marked with vitality display all the chromatic luxuriance of Haiti.

The settings are covered of floral ornaments, of geometric patterns and arabesques. The characters of Creole and African inspiration are taken by surprise in action and the simplified shapes accentuate the hieratic attitudes of the figures. Daily "heroic" effort, and concentration emanate from the models in her paintings. Usual objects glued on the surface reinforce the aspect of traditional trades found in the craftsmen she portrays.

During this most fulfilling and productive period, the artist participates in several group and solo exhibitions in Montreal, as well as abroad.
