BIOGRAPHY:
Roy Rupy renders his Lowcountry landscapes in astounding detail. His delicate realism lends a vibrancy to his compositional elements that remains unparalleled on the local art scene. Often he depicts sunsets right from his Island residence or views, such as picturesque old shacks, the marsh and the majestic oak trees, from forays into the local surroundings. Hardly ever does he feel the need to leave Hilton Head Island for locations in the county. Rupy has developed a local following and his works are being collected all over the country. Rupy's childhood in New York City was spent with pencil and paper. An artistically gifted boyhood friend helped him to appreciate the beauty found in nature on the marshy shores and winding creeks of Jamaica Bay. His skills were honed on long subway rides to Manhattan's High School of Music and Art. However, during Rupy's career with New York City's Finest his artistic progress was put on hold. Upon his retirement from the police force Rupy moved to Arizona and returned his focus to the art world. Working in oil and watercolor, he landed a position as a painting instructor, won awards and began a successful career as an artist.In 1996, the marshes called Rupy to a new home on Hilton Head Island. The beautiful tree framed shoreline brought the artistic subjects of his boyhood past back in all their beauty ?­ and here with unceasing inspiration, he feels at home.
