Early life and education


Repasy has been painting since she was in the second grade.[1] By age 14, she was painting furniture for friends and neighbors. Her first award was winning a high-school art contest, at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California. She continued painting soft, French-inspired roses on canvas and furniture. She studied oil painting at Irvine Valley College under artist Chris Gwaltney.[2]


Career


She started selling her pieces at age 28. She uses vintage frames and ceiling-fan tiles for framing.

Her painted furniture and technique were included in an autumn 2010 cover story in Stampington & Company's Somerset Home magazine.[3] She has been featured in four issues of Romantic Homes Magazine,[4] February 2004, February 2009, October 2010 and spring 2011 editions.[5] She was included in a short story and photo in spring 2011 and mentioned in March 2008 issues of Romantic Country Magazine.[6]

In March 2006, the Orange County Register wrote an article about how she applies shabby chic in her works.[1][7] In 2012, Today's Vintage Magazine wrote about Repasy's original artwork in a "Spotlight" article.[8]

She has painted floral designs on antique and vintage pieces of furniture discovered at flea markets, which become pieces of art. HGTV, in a 2004 interview for its "Country Style" show, included in an article on its site that Repasy's "timeless flower paintings hang in homes around the country."[9] She also appeared on Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic show on the Style Network. Repasy's work has been compared to that of artist Paul De Longpre.[10]

Repasy's art has shown at the Laguna Beach Art Festival[11] and she also participated in its 75th anniversary festival.


Personal life


She hosts Chateau de Fleurs, a quarterly marketplace of artisans, at her home in Fallbrook, California.[12] She also has a home and studio in Laguna Beach.
