Bev Boren exhibit extended through March 31 at Breckenridge Fine Arts Center
“Streets of Italy” by Bev Boren
The Breckenridge Fine Arts Center’s exhibit featuring the oil paintings and watercolors of Texas artist Bev Boren has been extended until the end of March, giving local residents another month to take in the collection of portraits, florals, landscapes and street scenes.
The exhibit is located in the BFAC’s Main Gallery. Boren, who lives in Trophy Club, is a signature member of the Outdoor Painters Society and the Southwestern Watercolor Society and a member of the Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, and American Watercolor Society.
According to her website, Boren’s work is primarily the result of her need to paint. She loves to paint a variety of subject matter as well as work in various mediums. Painting is her way of connecting with the world and the people around her and sharing those experiences along the way.
“Trying to describe or explain my efforts at painting or drawing seems like a futile effort,” she says on the website. “After all, I want my work to express itself without the necessity of words. My best hope is that my work will stand simply on it’s own, and find a connection with viewers where words fail.”
