Ars-en-Re, France Painting

Noreen Coup Contemporary Abstract and Landscape Painter Award Winning, French-American Artist, Noreen Coup paints Contemporary Abstract and Landscape paintings, mostly with a Palette Knife in Oil and Cold Wax Medium. Having dual citizenship with France, I am influenced by the lovely landscape of the Southwest Charente-Maritime Region of France. I travel often between the US and Europe, hosting travel workshops in France and Italy throughout the summer months. My medium is Oil and I paint mostly with a Palette Knife. My technique allows me to created bold and textural impressionistic and abstract paintings that speak to my desire for new discoveries in each new work of art. Coming full circle, I now enjoy giving back to the Art community by teaching, inspiring emerging arts to follow their passion and explore their individual journey. A graduate of Woodbury University with a BS degree in Interior Design, Noreen Coup held various design and project management positions with the Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, Universal Studios and the Walt Disney Co. Noreen is a self-taught artist, having studied drawing while living in Paris in 2000-2002 at the WICE Academy. Upon her return to the United States, she continues her art education taking classes and workshops with many of the great master painters.
