After gaining an interest in Vodou in the 1960s, Desruisseau began to include themes of Vodou in her work.[1] Having studied ethnography from 1967 to 1972, Desruisseau taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1977.[1] Desruisseau's painting "Delivrance" was awarded the Jacques Roumain first prize in 1974.[1]
