Suzanne Rupp

Orleans, Massachusetts - based art coach, (see her work on Instagram at Suzanne Gabriel Rupp) believes a strong foundation in observation, value and color will help students thrive in whatever medium they choose to express themselves. Suzanne’s practice emphasizes storytelling - exploring the many different contexts in which an artist can do their work. She enjoys working with young people as their diverse projects and interests challenge her to always keep learning and to be accountable to her daily practice.

Suzanne has been a working artist for more than 25 years. A lifelong learner, she continues her own arts education through artist mentorships presently centered around loose realism. In class she has been focusing on using acrylics to produce oil like still life and landscape pieces. At Ridgewood Art Institute she studied traditional realism and the prismatic palette in oil. Suzanne brings a depth of technical knowledge and expertise that is shared through her foundation art skills coaching that she does with Artriculate students. 

Suzanne is an alumni of Ridgewood Art Institute and received her BA from Rollins College. 

Professionally, she has consulted on interior design projects and worked in art galleries.
