Ivona Bogojevic
“I began drawing and coloring since I was 5 years old and developed two loves for creating colorful art and studying music— the piano. I chose to dedicate my time to piano that later became my life's profession in performing and teaching. Though I never completely abandoned art, I continued drawing as a hobby. After I married my husband, his uncle, a famous European painter, inspired and encouraged me to take up oil painting. My husband and I are from Belgrade, Serbia. We moved to Paris, New York and Boston to become US Citizens. Having more time for art, I explored pastels and watercolor then discovered my true passion for oil painting.
After a couple of years as a self-taught artist,
I realized I needed more knowledge and joined Rosemarie Morelli Art Studio School where I continue to paint.
I love nature so painting landscapes that are conducive to a serene mood are my favorite subjects. Capturing the contrasts between lights and shadows are always inspiring to achieve. I also enjoy rendering portraits of people and some animals such as horses and dogs.
I enjoy exhibiting my paintings in Dedham Art Association’s exhibits.”
