- Carole Duriez

“Maryvonne’s talent has brought the French “Arte de vivre” to Virginia. It compliments and blends with a countryside that Thomas Jefferson had enriched with his vision nurtured by his travels through France during his tenure as ambassador.”
- Nicole Yancey, French Consul of VA
“No other artist is versatile as Maryvonne LaParliere, for she has the talent to bring a “French flair” to homes that have witnessed much of America’s history. She can turn a bland wall into an 18th century pastoral scene that could be found in any French castle. Her hand painted furniture could have their place in an elegant boudoir. Her paintings can hang in galleries anywhere in the world, she can translate on canvas impressionist as well as classical masterpieces.”
- Nicole Yancey, French Consul of VA
