Biography

Born in France in 1969, Isabelle Dupuy spent her childhood the
country side of Provence, in Southern France.  She developped her
artistic skills at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts inValence, France as a
teenager and young adult.  It became a passion

Isabelle developed her own style with the inspiration of  
Impressionism from her favorite artist, Monet.  Her paintings are
often inspired by location near her home, the French countryside.  
Through her art, Isabelle transports the viewer to open spaces, much
like the home she grew up in.  She enjoys capturing on canvas the
vivid colors and light of the Mediterranean.

Isabelle current works incorporate use of color and texture while
capturing nature with a unique contemporary style.  She likes to keep
her artwork free of a conventional frame: she paints the sides of the
canvas as if the landscapes seem to exist beyond the canvas.  This
more simple way helps the viewer to focus on the artwork itself,
becoming a unique masterpiece.   


Isabelle is an ambitious self-taught painter who will never limit her
subject matter, her techniques and her style.  She brings new energy
to her work by isolating the most important colors, developing a
more bold way of painting for maximum effect.  In essence her art is
celebrating life on canvas.  Her newest direction  has been inspired
by studying under Chinese Art Teacher Xinsheng Wang.   Her new
work shows more feeling, energy and freshness while capturing a
unique moment in nature.


Isabelle goes home to Provence very often to get more inspiration
and to spend time with her family.  France is where she met her
husband Brad from Chicago, and she is raising her two children with
the intention of sharing with them the beauty of her country.  She
currently resides with her family in Houston, Texas where she is
doing what she loves most, painting.
