French Contemporary Landscape Artist
Isabelle Dupuy



Biography


Born in France in 1969, Isabelle Dupuy spent her childhood in the country
side of Provence, in Southern France.  She developed her artistic skills at
l' Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Valence, 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.
