From Bottoms to Birkins

The transition from the art world to fashion, from painting bodies to painting bags, stemmed from Boyarde’s ability to transcend any kind of canvas & her innate desire for a challenge. 

With a successful career exhibiting her Body Art in international Galleries from The Saatchi Gallery London to Art Miami, after being asked to hand-paint 100 pairs of Charlotte Olympia shoes for Neiman Marcus, Art Basel 2012 to painting her first Hermes Birkin, this catapulted her into the fashionista spotlight & paved the way building to her own Art House with a team of highly specialised artists trained in bespoke painting on luxury fashion items. 

The Chameleon Canvas Artist

Embracing her love of transformative art & the challenge that comes with being able to paint on any surface, including a Royal Enfield motorbike for The Elephant Family & ambassador HRH Queen Camilla, to 12ft long wall art, a bowling ball, Hermes desk blotters & bespoke humidors for Davidoff, Boyarde paints for the client who has it all, giving the oyster to that existing opulence at its most bespoke
