"Baret Boisson is a brilliant artist whose talented work lives in my personal collection. We are all only temporary custodians of beauty, and it is a pleasure to care for Baret’s beautiful art."

"Jimmy's friendship is a true work of art!" Colbert writes on his instagram after receiving Baret's custom portrait, commissioned by Jimmy Fallon.

– Stephen Colbert

American comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actor, and television host.

“Baret’s meticulously rendered portraits are stylistically reminiscent of the itinerant painters of early American Folk art. She captures her sitter’s spirit through their eyes and with a few carefully chosen props and a vivid and bold color palette. She is a contemporary American folk artist with a unique gift of communication and a beautiful sense of color and patterning. Like the great folk portrait painter Ammi Phillips, her work has the naive brilliance of a self-taught artist. With a client list that includes some of the world's most famous celebrities, all get the same whimsical and incisive treatment from her beloved dog Lucky to Elizabeth Taylor!”

Gallerist & Curator

“Baret Boisson’s ability to capture personality comes not from her ability to render faces accurately, but to render expressions, presences, vividly. This is the work of a mature mind attuned to the uniqueness of personhood.”

- Peter Frank

American art critic and curator

“Baret Boisson is a living legend.  Baret’s work hits a chord that speaks of personal history; her images make you think and remind you to dream.  In a messy world, Baret’s work reminds us that simpler says more, that innocence is charming, that purity is true beauty.”
