ARTISTS
ROBERT CATHCART was born in Belleville, Ontario in 1961. From a young age Robert always demonstrated his creative skills through painting and drawing. Robert studied graphic design at Durham College and after graduating he moved to Toronto. His design career was largely focused on producing promotional material for the pharmaceutical industry as well as working for a Toronto advertising agency. Robert left the industry in 2010 to pursue his passion for painting and set up his studio in Aurora, Ontario. Inspired by the Canadian landscape’s shapes and colours, he simplifies his impressionistic style paintings through the use of broad brush strokes, vibrant colours, square and rectangular shapes. These shapes add a sense of abstraction and convey a kind of whimsical feel to the painting. His paintings are in public collections throughout Canada, United States and Europe.
ANNA CLAREY is a professional artist who paints out of her home studio in the Beach neighborhood of Toronto. She specializes in large Canadian landscapes characterized by her bold use of colour and contrast. Anna paints in acrylics which allow her to work quickly and spontaneously, using layers to highlight sunlight and shadow.
Anna finds most of her inspiration from her travels and camping trips in Ontario. Algonquin Park is especially magical and inspiring to her. She tries to get up there every summer to take photographs. Back in her home studio she recreates and interprets her vision onto canvas.
Anna has participated in over 40 group and solo shows. Anna’s work is displayed in galleries throughout Ontario and her paintings hang in private collections around the world.

One of Roy’s exhibitions held at the Westland Gallery sent all proceeds to the efforts in South Sudan.
