Helen Bouchard was born in Portland Maine, USA. Drawing and painting has provided Bouchard with endless joy and comfort throughout the stages of her life. After experiencing Renaissance art and architecture while traveling through Italy at the age of 18, she became particularly interested in the work of the old masters. Through her education in classical methods of painting and drawing, she grew a deep love for the study of sight, art history, and the poetics of creating beautiful timeless art. Bouchard has won numerous awards for her merits, including first place in the international Artist’s Magazine Competition; portrait/figure category, as well as grand prize over all in 2018. She also won a scholarship award to study at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, summer program, in 2016. Bouchard currently lives and works in Oregon. |
