Filomena de Andrade Booth

It gives me great pleasure to be able to offer my original abstract paintings directly to you from my own studio.

Whether you are an experience collector or just venturing into the world of art, please be assured that you are purchasing an original, gallery-quality work of art. 

I am a full-time professional artist.  I started my career many years ago as as high school art teacher.  After several years devoted to my family, I am now at the point in my life where I am able to fully explore my artistic abilities.

Although I am primarily an abstract expressionist, from time to time I enjoy painting in a more realistic or impressionistic style.  I particularly enjoy exploring and experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques.  I feel that by limiting myselt to one particular style prevents me from completely exploring new artistic possiblities.  This enables me to continue to grow as an artist and to keep my work fresh and exciting.

I take great pride in the quality of my work.  Only the finest professional artist materials are used in the creation of my original paintings.  Be assured that the beauty of your painting will last for very many years. 

Between 1987 and 1992, I became widely recognized throughout the Tampa Bay area as a custom design artist for the interior design market.  My original work may be found in many prestigious homes, offices, hotels and corporations throughout the state of Florida.  

I am especially proud of the fact that in 2003, I was awarded both the Florida Watercolor Society's American Artist Magazine Award and the International Acrylic Painters Association Savoir-Faire Award. 

In 2004, my husband and I made our home in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area.  I am actively involved in a.r.t.s, an association of talented artists located in the north Texas area. 

I hope you enjoy visiting my on-line gallery and that you find something that pleases your artistic palate.  Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. 

I send our a monthly newsletter to all my buyers.  Click on the "Newsletter" link to be added to my list.

To create a powerful and moving abstract image is a gratifying experience for any artist.  To have that image appreciated by the viewer is an even greater joy.”
