Cathy Boyer is a Bay Area plein air
landscape painter who’s loose, colorist works are rich with nuance and a sense
of something about to be discovered.
Her fresh style, while inspired by others is
definitely her own and she is emerging as an exciting new voice in this
already outstanding “art scene.”
Cathy studied art at University of California, Santa Barbara and after earning
a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Science from San Jose State University advanced
her art interest by studying evenings while employed in graphic design at
local computer companies. She used design and illustration skills while
employed at Apple Computer, Inc.; Synopsys, Inc.; 3Com Corporation, Inc. and
most recently Brokat Inc., San Jose.
Since 2001 Cathy has focused on color in landscape painting while studying
with Camille Przewodek. This ‘colorist school’ emerged out of the Cape Cod
School in Providence, Massachusetts, started by William Merritt Chase and
continued by Charles Hawthorne and later Henry Henche. Local artists she
studied with include Catherine Bazak, Bart Depalma, Jim Smyth, Anita Hampton,
Rebecca Alzonfon and most recently Camille Przewodek. Nationally recognized
artists include Kevin MacPherson, David Leffel, Sherrie McGraw and Morgan
Samuel Price.
A resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, Cathy has received top awards in
numerous art shows, including the Central Coast National Fine Art Competition,
2007, the American Impressionist Society, Inc., 2007, and the Menlo Art League
Annual Juried Show, 2007. Cathy has shown locally at the
