Biography
R. Dupuy was born in 1950, in Southampton, England, and emigrated to British Columbia on Canada's west coast in 1957. A move to Salt Spring Island in 1973 followed, where the artist has lived since, with several years spend travelling and working in France.
In 1988, Dupuy began to study painting with B. L. Woodward, from whom a basic knowledge of materials and methods was learned. Since this beginning, she has been basically self-taught, attending occasional workshops, regular life-drawing and portrait-painting sessions, and studying the great paintings of the past and present.
Winner of several awards, and with work in numerous private and corporate collections in Europe and North America, Dupuy is a full-time painter and Signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Her work is currently represented in her studio on Salt Spring Island (by appointment), by Federation Gallery, Granville Island, Vancouver, BC, and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, in their Art Rental and Sales Programme, and may be viewed at http://artists.ca/dupuy.
Rosamonde offers spring and fall painting workshops at her studio on Salt Spring Island.
