Featured Artist — Laurie Boyanovsky

Lau­rie in her stu­dio

Lau­rie began her stud­ies in Paris at the respect­ed Par­sons Uni­ver­si­ty. After receiv­ing a sol­id artis­tic foun­da­tion she returned to the States where she earned her Mas­ters of Art at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Wis­con­sin-Mil­wau­kee.

“Lau­rie’s edu­ca­tion­al back­ground in art allows her a mul­ti­fac­eted approach to the stretched can­vas. Her groups of col­or and her paint­ing style are unique­ly hers.” (Quote from Emile Math­is of Math­is Fine Art Gallery.)

Lau­rie’s exten­sive trav­els are revealed in her work with her wide range of nat­ur­al set­tings and her use of per­spec­tive. Her paint­ings are filled with a cheer­ful feel­ing that cap­ti­vates and pleas­es her audi­ences. Her use of col­or and move­ment draw the eye across the can­vas and explode with a vital­i­ty that encour­ages the imag­i­na­tion of the spec­ta­tor to see him­self or her­self as a par­tic­i­pant in the paint­ing.

To Lau­rie, col­or is the most impor­tant ele­ment of her life. She uses this pas­sion to con­vey all the won­der­ful sens­es of nature and life!

The vari­ety, tex­ture, size and col­or in Lau­rie’s extra­or­di­nary paint­ings are informed by her life. She has lived broad­ly and intense­ly all over the world. Muse­ums, cours­es in a wide range of sub­jects honed her skills and tech­nique. Her inten­si­ty, intel­li­gence and tal­ent were nour­ished by the hills of Tus­cany, the col­ors of many years in Paris, and Ams­ter­dam in the Spring.
