Maureen Riesco is a contemporary-realism oil painter, whose art has been described as alluring, whimsical, vibrant, and fun.  Her current focus is painting female portraits and figures, using colors and
a wet-on-wet technique that combine to produce an edgy, vintage feel.

Her portraits are often embellished with small animals, birds or flowers that help evoke emotions and tell a story in the mind of the viewer.  Her images provide an escape to a more whimsical place and time.

In addition to her degree in engineering, Maureen has studied drawing and painting at universities, art studios, and with private teachers.  Her work and style are always evolving as she experiments with new themes and painting techniques.

She has received many awards, and her work has been exhibited individually and collectively at various galleries throughout Colorado.   She is a member of Colorado's Louisville Art Association (LAA), the Louisville Arts District (LAD) and the North Boulder (NoBo) Arts District.  Website:www.maureenart.com
