“Passion”, shown above is featured in “The Healing Color of Purple in Art”, published on this website. About the color Therese wrote “It’s fascinating how colors can carry such symbolic weight and contribute to our emotional experiences. The richness of purple indeed invites a connection with the intangible, encouraging contemplation and a sense of wonder. Purple calls for your heart to reach out to Spirit and join forces to bring peace, mystery, and magic. The calming and soothing nature of purple can bring a sense of tranquility and balance to both the mind and the environment.”

Artist’s Statement:
My art portrays emotional “places” that are loosely based on the idea of a landscape. It is about emotion, about reaching deep down and touching the soul through a choreographed dance of color and light of acrylic and tissue paper.

We love our beautiful Thérèse Boisclair painting, “Our Secret Place” which struck me immediately when I saw her collection online. It is an honor to behold this expressive, evocative piece every day in person & thank you to Thérèse for creating such deeply moving art.
These paintings are really beautiful, these are just the kind of paintings I connect to and love. Well done.
To Therese: This is so lovely…. I have used tissue in places but your overall consistency of under-covering and colors are bold. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Beautiful work. Your use of color and texture is magical. Very moving art.
Thank you Diane for your comments. It is greatly appreciated.
A message to Therese: Your work is mesmerizing. I am an oil painter, expressive style yet representational. I currently have a painting in the (Manhattan Arts International) New Beginnings Exhibit. Continually loosening my strokes, I strive to understand abstraction in art. Thank you for sharing a little about your process but mostly, sharing your beautiful work.
