Artist of the moment……Evelyne Boren

 

 

Evelyne Boren is a wonderful painter working in an Impressionist style. Evelyne Boren was born in Munich, Germany in the year 1939.

Boren is renown her paintings of vacation beaches, flower markets, and landscapes. The artist works in watercolor and oils.

Boren has lived an extraordinary life and has travelled the globe and also used to be stuntwoman acting in movies featuring the international spy James Bond.

Her story is so unique that when she appeared on popular American game shows of yesteryear such as “To Tell the Truth.” This was an older game show that featured guests with unusual jobs and celebrities that would try and figure it what their profession was. Her job was so unique, no one was able to figure what she did for a living. Her title was underwater stuntwoman.

In this clip we view a great scene, the artist at the opening of a very recent show. In it she talks about her past and her paintings:

Boren began painting in the 1960s.

Born has two studios that keep her busy. One studio is located in Sante Fe and the other in Mexico.

In this clip we view a montage of works by Evelyne Boren. My favorite works of the artist are her marine/ sea paintings. What a great sense of design and color:

The artist is now based out of Sante Fe, New Mexico.

It must be the clay based paint that gives the viewer such delightful color combinations to take in. The color and use of angles to make shapes have dimension is also great quality of her work.
