Cathy Boyd Fine Art Gallery

The subject matter I paint is often chosen for its intrinsic beauty, even if you might not initially think of it in those terms. I am inspired by light, colour and contrast. Those are the elements by which I determine what is worthy of painting, and which will best serve to hopefully entice you to look at my painting with pleasure and consideration.

Sponsors receive branding exposure throughout the event, including in event promotions and public communications.

Become part of our network. Stay informed. Take action. Protect Ontario.

Friends. Online censorship by unaccountable tech companies, combined with an all-out assault on the Greenbelt by Ontario’s developers/government, make this a perilous time for the future of democracy and the power of the people in Ontario.

We need to build new ways of empowering those who believe in accountability, in a healthy environment, and in communities ready to thrive in the economy of tomorrow.

Join our supporter network and stay informed about efforts and actions to protect the Greenbelt, to build communities that support the health and well-being of people, and to lay the foundations of a resilient, climate friendly future.
