In 2005, Ms Dubreuil was awarded a residency with the Musee de la Grande Vigne in France and painted the landscape of Brittany en plein air. She is a signature member of i-p-a-p, the International Plein Air Painters Worldwide, a member of New England Watercolor Society, The Connecticut Plein Air Painters,  The New Hampshire Plein Air Painters, and Plein Air Painters of Maine.
