Biography
Avery Elizabeth Boruch is an awarded child artist from Rhode Island. She is described by experts as a prodigy due to her ability to change the value of color and move light and dark within a painting. Born May 22, 2000, Avery began painting watercolors at a very early age and demonstrated an amazing gift of talent. Her 1st acrylic painting "Baby in the Circle of Life" (donated to Hasbro Children's Hospital) was completed in early October, 2004. At the age of 4, in March 2005, Avery received an honorable mention for her watercolor "Happy Face" in her first juried show and also had her 1st solo exhibition, which featured 27 acrylics (some larger than Avery) and 9 watercolors. Since that time, Avery has completed hundreds of acrylics, watercolors and pen and inks. Avery has an incredible sense of color choice and placement and a focus in and deliberate style of painting which has been compared to Fauvism and colorists such as Matisse and Picasso, as well as abstract painters such as Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky. The Fauves believed in the use of color to express emotion. Completely self taught, Avery mixes all of her colors and prefers to be alone to concentrate. Mixing colors for a single painting may take her as many as 3 hours, and she has been known to mix over 6 dozen different colors. Avery usually plays music while she paints, and there is a connection between the harmony and the painting. Her paintings may take many weeks to complete, at which time Avery herself names them, often with a sense of humor and always with a lot of spirit. Avery often works on several paintings at once. Avery's acrylics, watercolors and pen and inks have been exhibited in fine art galleries and shows, television and newspapers. Donations of her works have helped raise funds for numerous charities both locally and nationally. Avery's paintings are known to artists and collectors around the world. "Try your best every day, and when you find your talent, use it to do something good." Avery Boruch 2006 |
