Elise Boerder-Broadway

Artist Statement:

“I’ll Fly Away” is a particularly experimental painting for me; a quiet landscape just before dusk interrupted by the flight of a single bird, a single fence post with an unexpected trickle of smoke. I normally put long hours of careful planning into my work but for this piece I started with the notion of creating a placid, unadorned landscape- the idea of including the Barn Swallow illuminated by the golden light at sunset came to me suddenly and without warning. From that point everything else in the painting flowed outwards, regardless of what sense it all might make.

Elise Boerder-Broadway is a classically-trained and international prize-winning fine art painter now based in Midlothian, Texas and focusing on portraiture, Texas landscapes and farm scenes. After a BFA in Painting from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania, a series of international artist in residency programs and receiving 8 prestigious international awards and scholarships, she got a Masters in Painting from the Royal College of Art in London in 2019. She has exhibited around the USA, London, and Japan. Boerder-Broadway specializes in a variety of themes, particularly portraits of people of all ages in natural settings, equine subjects, and pets.
