ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ivonne Reid-Borland
My love for Fine Arts and vibrant colors started at a very young age.
Pursuing art was put on the back burner to raise my family and work to make ends meet.
I work primarily with watercolors because of their color strength, transparency and beautiful results. A lifelong student of various painting mediums, substrates and techniques. I enjoy painting and the creative process.
I moved to Arizona after retiring from a successful career in Finance in Washington, DC. Arizona provides that amazing nature feel with stunning deserts, colorful flowers, red rocks and amazing cacti. I paint from my collection of photographs. I'm blessed to have visited Canada, Europe, Africa, Central and South America; and have travelled extensively in the United States.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin and an MBA from Aspen University. To pay for my undergraduate degree I worked as a student artist and created art posters, calendars and various art announcements.
In every moment, I find a reason to thank God for the gift of life, family, friends and art.
I am a member of the Westbrook Village Fine Arts Association, and the Ground Floor Artists in Surprise, Arizona. Love being in a creative space to share ideas and create with other wonderful artists.
