It is rare that I give a recommendation, but Maryvonne LaParlière is really
the best I have seen in America. Her scene paintings have depth, correct
perspective and are beautifully done.
Robert Kendal. 2008- Architect. VA.

“Maryvonne’s talent has brought the French “Art de vivre” to Virginia. It
complements and blends with a countryside that Thomas Jefferson had
enriched with his vision nurtured by his travels trough France during his
tenure as ambassador.
Nicole Yancey. French Consul of VA. 2007

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 a 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. 2008- French Consul of Virginia.

“La personnalité exceptionnellement chaleureuse et sensible de Maryvonne
Laparlière trouve son accomplissement dans ses créations artistiques toutes
fortes et empruntes d’une grace intemporelle. Rien ne heurte, rien ne
désoriente. La communication est immédiate entre l’artiste et celui qui
admire ses oeuvres. Cette façon d’aller droit à l’esprit et au Coeur s’appelle
le talent. Maryvonne en a énormement.”
Catherine Hermary-Vieille. 2008 Writer, (Prix Femina 1981).

France… and I totally agree. Thank you for your talent”.
Carole Duriez. Paris, 1999.
