Baret Boisson

From her risk-taking "Great Americans" series to commissioned works for Sumner Redstone, Jimmy Fallon, Jane Pratt, Elizabeth Taylor and many of Hollywood's most noteworthy stars, Baret uses her paintbrush to capture her subjects' personality, incorporating spectacular color and clever text.

Baret's meticulously rendered portraits are stylistically reminiscent of the iternerant painters of early American Folk art. She captures her sitter's spirit through their eyes and with a few carefully chosen props and a vivid and bold color palette. She is a contemporary American folk artist with a unique gift of communication and a beautiful sense of color and patterning. Like the great folk portrait painter Ammi Phillips, her work has the naive brilliance of a self-taught artist. With a client list that includes some of the worlds most famous celebrities, all get the same whimsical and incisive treatment from her beloved dog Lucky to Elizabeth Taylor!
