STATEMENT
Pattern, color, texture and the manipulation and interplay of these elements are the focus of my work. I enjoy the tension and unpredictability created by these elements. Working primarily in mixed-media and collage, I like to explore the female role in diverse cultures being ever conscious of her place in society.
I am inspired by the sunny climes of the Caribbean, the rich colors of Africa, and the quiet beauty of the Asian culture. Always, my art is about finding unique and personal means of expression and a continuing search for ancestors.

Dare Boles has produced fine art in pastels, oils and photography. She was introduced to the art of collage while attending a workshop in the summer of 1991.

Dare, as a member of the National Collage Society, decided to form an affiliate chapter in Virginia. That chapter was chartered in 2005 as the Virginia Collage Society. This endeavor has been successful and currently has 35 members.
Dare has created works of art for civic projects. She developed a sculpture for the “Go Fish” project in Richmond in 2004. She most recently created a work of art on a violin for the Richmond Symphony’s “String Art” fund raiser.
