Maria Boisvert, award-winning artist, developed her interest in art at an early age. Due to her artistic accomplishments and intuitive ability she was recognized and encouraged by her instructors throughout her academic years. Art became a lifelong passion. “It is important for me to put down on canvas or paper the places and moments in time that are most inspiring. Capturing that sweet spot, finding those relationships, seeing beyond the subject, becomes all encompassing. What an affair it is when all the elements come together.” Her key influences are William Keith, Franz Bischoff, and Richard Schmid.
