Paré's work is growing in popularity. She even recently made a trip to Malibu to present actor Pierce Brosnan with a painting she did of him as James Bond.

"It's incredible of me as James Bond. This is just exemplary artwork," Brosnan said.

Brosnan was able to spend some time with Paré. They talked about the role of suffering in the creation of art. Brosnan is also a painter who started up again after his first wife died of ovarian cancer.

"I think solitude and pain and suffering brings out the best," Brosnan said. "And it's a great gift to have that."

Paré's work is also affordable -- it's on Christmas cards for the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists.
