Artist Statement

Art for decades has brought inspiration,

lifted the spirits, and given joy to mankind.

A sunset, a field of flowers, a mountain stream

The beauty of these things that surround us is

what motivates me. This is where my passion

to paint comes from.

Biographical Information

Since the age of 12, Boyd had wanted to attend art school, but life had other ideas.
She became a mother at 17, divorced at 21 and struggled with drugs and alcohol
until her mid-40’s. Boyd suffered a brain aneurism at 47; during her recovery she
promised herself that she would find something more meaningful to do in her life
besides work. She remembered that the only thing she had ever wanted to do
was to paint. A friend began bringing her newspaper clippings about art classes
and she eventually started attending. Boyd has been painting ever since.
