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.  At 10, in February 2011, Avery was the youngest artist
    ever to be juried into the prestigious Newport Art Museum's Newport Annual, in Newport RI.

    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 sometimes 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.  She has also given painting demonstrations and talked
    about her work.  Donations of Avery's works have helped raise funds for numerous charities
    both locally and nationally.  Avery's unique and recognizable paintings are known to artists and
    collectors around the world.
