Marie Channer Biography
*Artist Statement*
My home is in the mountains south of Nederland Colorado. My love for
horses and the west give me joy and inspiration for my paintings. When I
am not in my studio working on a piece of western art or doing portraiture
you will likely find me in a class studying Old Masters techniques or in a
museum studying paintings, or teaching the art of painting in oils. I am a
member of the American Society of Portrait Artists. In both 2002 and 2003 I
participated in the Boulder National Art Show and took first place in the
members show in both years. In 2002, my painting 'Laura' was honored with
The People's Choice Award in the Louisville National Art Show and the same
year my work was juried into the Englewood National Show. In 2003 my
painting titled 'Ida' won Best of Show in the Gilpin Art Association
National Show. Also in 2003 I had the honor of being featured in the Taos
Society of Portrait Artists (TSoPA) Annual Portrait Exhibition and again in
2004 'Desiree' was exhibited at the Millicent Rogers Museum through August.
In June my painting 'Summer Reflections' placed first in oils in the
national show for 2004 in Gilpin County and in September 'In The Land of
Sweets' was awarded 'People's Choice' at the Art of Estes Park Gallery
National Show. I have been featured in The American Art Collector Magazine
on three different occasions and most recently in Western Art Collector
Magazine. In fall of 2010 Veiled Dance won peoples choice in the
Louisville National Art Show in Louisville Colorado. In February 2011 I
was invited to be a member of the International Guild of Realism.
