CARY LOOPUYT JURRIAANS
BIOGRAPHY
Cary Loopuyt Jurriaans is a local painter living on Whidbey Island where she runs the Whidbey Island Fine Art Studio. Her work largely centers around the still life and explorations of lightness and darkness therein. Jurriaans grew up in Holland and the Dutch paintings she grew up with and encountered as a child had a deep influence on her practice.
Jurriaans comes from a family of painters: her aunt was the Parisian painter Mena Loopuyt and she is descended from Johan Joeke Gabriel van Wicheren, a Dutch portrait painter. She is the first female member invited to join the historical group of artists "Puget Sound Group of Northwest Painters" of which she is a Signature Member. She received formal art training at the Seattle Academy of Fine Art, Gage Academy, and the Florence Academy of Art in Italy.
