The list of Coulon-Serra’s many awards include the Medal of the City of Paris, the Vermeil Medal of the Department of the Seine and her works have been purchased by the French State and the City of Paris.
From an early age, Marie showed outstanding artistic talent and went to study at the Fine Art Academy.
Marie favoured depictions of the coast, rivers, or lakes of the French countryside, and her oeuvre is dominated by paintings of fishing boats beautifully reflected in rippling water.
Marie's technique and style reveal the influence of her husband, the successful French artist Rene Emile Charles Coulon.
However, Marie's use of bright colours, such as orange and cobalt blue, is unique to her evocations of the French landscape. Marie exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon and the Salon d'Hiver and in 1954 she was awarded the Gold Medal of the Paris Salon and the following year the coveted Hors Concours.
