Maureen Riesco has been drawing and painting since a very young age and credits her passion for art to her mother and grandmother, who were both talented painters. Now that her children are grown, she has much more time to paint and to participate in the art community as a professional artist.
Maureen's art is known for its bold, bright, and cheerful colors. She paints with vivid contrast and believes each painting will bring joy to its viewers. Her portfolio spans from traditional, to contemporary, to abstract. She paints with acrylics and oils and with brush and palette knife. She loves experimenting with different subjects and styles of painting.
Living in Boulder, Colorado, Maureen is inspired by the beautiful local scenery and wildlife. Her work is also a reflection of her travels and having lived in various parts of the country.
Maureen is a member of Colorado's Louisville Art Association and the Louisville Arts District.
