Artist Statement 

Two of Mrs. Patricia Boyer (Tricia) ‘s great passions in life are family and art. Tricia has been a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina since birth, where she resides with her husband, Larry Boyer of 34 years. Her family, their children and grand-children and community of friends are a huge inspiration where her art is concerned.

Drawing and art has been a passion of hers since junior high school due to the inspiration of her 7th grade art teacher. Fine art painting is the medium of choice for her creative expression. Tricia is continually excited about the power of art and its ability to capture her own unique perception of the moment in a form that she can share with others. The use of beautiful and colorful acrylic painting knowing that she can express herself artistically. The passion behind her paintings is knowing that she can make herself and others smile, no matter what each is going through in their lives. She has come to know more about the fine art medium and other local artists during her journey.

The past four years has afforded Tricia the opportunities to paint and present her art with a wide variety of the Charlotte community. Tricia displays her art around Charlotte at venues including solo exhibitions at the Festival in the Park, Kings Drive Art Walk, Metropolitan Take Over, Fosters Frame and Gallery, Whitewater Diamond and South End Gallery Crawl as well as Kay & Kays Event Suites, Sycamore Brewery, Coffey and Thompson Art Gallery for her solo exhibitions. She has won several awards for her artwork and has been featured on the ‘Let’s Talk Art With Brooke’ podcast on many occasions, ‘Chat and Spin Radio’ with Ian Johnson in the UK with over 2,000 listeners and ‘Living the Dream’ The 2.0 Grandma interview with Marsha McLean, which has set her among the top artists in the Charlotte area. She has participated in a ‘Voice of America’ Arts & Culture Magazine interview with Salim whereas local artists discussed the art scene as it emerges during the pandemic. Tricia’s art is collected by individuals as well as corporate collections. Tricia continues to give her paintings to children and others who love and are touched by her works.

The opportunities that Tricia has continually been given to display and demonstrate her original paintings at the Festival in the Parks event have been an excellent addition to those events. She is grateful for the continued support of the venues throughout her career.
