Early life and education
DuBois, an only child, grew up in Argenteuil, a suburban town north of Paris.[4] No member of his family was artistic.[5] The idea of art as a career option was introduced to DuBois at the age of fourteen, when the headmistress of his public school, having become aware of his drawings in notebooks, encouraged him to apply for advanced study at an art school in Paris. DuBois passed the aptitude tests required for admission and entered the school, a century-old institute in St. Germain des Prés, known to most as Rue Madame. Upon completion of his studies at Rue Madame, he enrolled for an advanced degree at École Supérieure des Arts Estienne, also in Paris.[4] After completing his studies at École Estienne, and obliged to serve France for two years, in 1989 he arrived in the Maritime provinces of Canada to serve as a graphic designer for the French Ministry of Cooperation where he worked at various magazines in Petit Rocher, New Brunswick, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Caraquet, New Brunswick and Summerside, Prince Edward Island.[5]
