"I am most interested in describing feeling in the painting rather than a perfect rendition. I think that one remembers a painting because of how it makes you feel, rather than what it describes." ~Doreen Currie

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, Pennsylvania, 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.

Her paintings are display in Pittsburgh-area galleries, The Latrobe Art Center, in Latrobe, PA, The Art Source, in Cleveland, OH, and Gallery 1683 in Annapolis, MD. Doreen is a member of the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society, the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, the Watercolors Gallery, Latrobe Art Center, and Latrobe Art League. Her paintings are hung in many corporate and private collections.
