Pierre Bouret, IPAP
Artist Statement
Pierre Bouret moved to Kauai in 1970 to pursue his passion for surfing.
Once on island he was captivated by the beauty and magnificence of the surrounding landscape.
Hawaii's mountains, waterfalls cascading into the ever changing sea, and moments of magical light & shadow
have provided an endless source of material for painting en plein air, or on location.
Colorful, light filled canvases that capture extraordinary moments in ordinary life characterize Bouret’s plein air work.
Pierre has studied with Saim Caglayan, Camille Przewodek, Ray Roberts, Peggi Kroll, Scott Burdick, Jim Wilcox,
Jeff Horn, Ian Roberts, Randall Sexton and Ken Auster
