Maria Victoria de Bernard is a Cuban Born artist currently living near Hudson, New York.
She specializes in Cuban Folk Art.
Hudson, New York has become a magnet for artistic types drawn mostly from New York City which is about 120 miles South.
Can’t say its the weather as winter is usually long, hard, snowy and expensive to heat. Spring is usually short and mostly cold and when its not cold, its muddy as the winter snow melts.
“Cuban Artist Maria Victoria de Bernade at work in her Update New York Gallery”
In her own words, this is what Maria writes of what attracts her as an artist to Columbia County;
“Si esa soy yo,….. quien lo diria!! despues de haber estado por toda la ciudad me vine a retirar al campo, a la tranquilidad de Columbia county, con sus fincas de vacas y caballos, con la tranquilidad de la gente del campo, que es igual a la gente del campo de todas partes del mundo, afables, serviciales…Levantarse por la manana y ver el entorno es algo que no tiene precio, para lo demas…ya ustedes saben!!”
