Greta Corens

Greta Corens saw the light as a painter of portraits and flowers, after a career as a fashion designer in New York City. She received an MFA at the prestigious St. Lucas Architectural Institute, div. St Imelda in Brussels, Belgium. 

She became a sought after fashion designer in New York City, while painting portraits, following her love for character profiles of people. She broadened her artistic perspective at the Antwerp Art Academy in Belgium. A beloved teacher guided her towards painting still lives in oils and watercolor. This led her to recognize the nurturing and elevating influence of baroque Dutch Golden Age Flower paintings during her boarding school years, and an intimate discovery of the effects of the elegance of flowers on her psyche unraveled in her paintings. 

Returning to the US, as President of the prestigious Reilly League of Artists, NY she has held master classes. Prestigious galleries in New York and Connecticut showcased and awarded prizes to her Watercolor Flowers that announce her breakthrough as a realistic watercolor painter.
