ARDEN BOYCE
Arden Boyce has been painting since she was a child, and ebullient creativity has sustained her through the birth and raising of her four children. Her love affair with light and color started as a young student when she traveled to Europe and was entranced by the original art she saw there, especially the work of the Impressionists.
"Suddenly I saw everything differently. It just took my breath away."
For close to 40 years, Boyce has been refining her international Impressionistic style. In particular, she is developing techniques of "pure palette" painting using vibrant hues of the spectrum.
In other words, she uses no dark earth tones.
Because her colors are so vivid, she takes special care to control her images with subtly grayed down shades. The overall effect of her work is one of brightness and harmony, reflecting her own optimistic attitude toward life and desire to share her delight with the beauty in everyday life around us.
