Phyllis Dupuy grew up in Montreal, graduating
from McGill University and went on to teach art
in northern Ontario. She came to London in 1978 to study ceramics and soon established a reputation for her finely thrown porcelain vessels. These have been widely exhibited both here and abroad. Cate Blanchett chose some of these pieces to feature in her recent film 'Notes on a Scandal'. Phyllis has always loved portraiture and the importance of colour in her ceramics is echoed in her oil paintings. She has studied for several years at Heatherley's in Chelsea and has developed an innovative method of working. Instead of a series of long sittings, she uses one session, backed up by photographs, capturing the sitter at a defining moment and allowing a more lively expression to be portrayed. Phyllis is now available for private commissions. |
