Doreen Currie is a fourth generation native of
Latrobe, Pennsylvania, who still resides on a portion of her great
grandparents farm. Growing up in the country, Doreen has enjoyed
the beauty of gardens, rolling hillsides, forests, and country
landscapes. She loves painting still-life subjects - especially
fruit and flowers, and recently farm life. Since acquiring a second
residence in Fenwick, Island, Delaware, she has begun to paint
life at the beach.
Doreen studied graphic art and design at Seton
Hill College, Greensburg, PA, and early in her career created
landscapes and still-life paintings using oils and acrylics.
She later transitioned to watercolor media and has studied with
many well renowned artists. being able to switch from one media
to another, depending on the subject, gives more painterly freedom
to the artist. Doreen is most interested in describing feeling
in the painting rather than a perfect rendition. She feels one
remembers a painting because of "how it makes you feel," rather
than what it describes.
