Daisy de Puthod Sometimes, there is a fleeting scene that will catch and hold my attention because of its beauty, perfect balance, luminosity, intensity or human connection. My goal is to capture these moments.

BACKGROUND
Born in Paris, France, to an artistic family, Daisy de Puthod moved to the U.S. via Colorado. In 1975, after graduating from the Colorado Institute of Art, she became a succesful commercial artist, illustrating in pen and ink or watercolor for ad agencies and publishing houses.

In 1988, she relocated to the Hudson Valley, where she studied portraiture in pastels and oils with renowned artists Aaron Shikler, Daniel Greene and Burt Silverman.

Since working in oils, Daisy de Puthod's work has evolved into a more contemporary bold and colorful style, "leaning a bit towards Fauvism" as described in a recent New York Times review of her recent solo show at the Garrison Art Center, NY.
 
Daisy de Puthod is a Signature member of the American Impressionist Society and the New York Plein Air Painters and a member of the Oil Painters of America, the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters and the Artists in the Parks. Whether painting her plein-air landscapes or her studio figures and portaits, Daisy prefers to paint from life.
