Loren Doucette lives in Gloucester, MA working as a full-time painter and art mentor. Her work has shown in solo and group exhibitions since 2006. She received a BFA in Drawing and Painting in 2013 from Montserrat College of Art where she participated in Montserrat’s study-abroad program in Italy. It was there that landscape painting became a stabilizing force in her work. Using Oil, Acrylic, Pastel and Gouache, her work includes architectural landscapes unique to Gloucester’s harbor, vibrant floral paintings, emotional figurative work and abstractions that come from the bones of all three subjects. Her paintings are prayers hovering between realism and abstraction and celebrate the sun, flowers, people and color of this world. In addition to painting, she offers art mentoring and classes throughout the year while doing live demonstrations upon request. All of Loren’s original artwork, giclee prints and a large assortment of her greeting cards can also be viewed and purchased on her website and online store.
