"I did the painting to show how I paint furniture the way others paint on canvas." When LaParlière arrived in California in 1986 painted furniture was basically unheard of - it certainly wasn't a trendy item. She was one of the precursors and perhaps, according to 1995 Victorian Magazine, the one to establish the concept of an entire scene on furniture, what LaParlière coins "artwork on furniture." Maryvonne LaParlière has specialized in painted furniture for many years. From mere decoration with scrollwork, floral designs, and designs of the past centuries, to complete sceneries, as one would normally expect in a framed painting, LaParlière is comfortable and adept at painting in this 3 dimensional form.
