About...
Hey there! If you don’t already know me, I'm Cathy Horvath Buchanan, I'm an artist/painter and I love creating bright, colorful artwork that helps you bring joy into your home and life.
Can we talk?...Don't be shy...but do you have....naked walls?.....Oh my goodness, there I said it. I know it's a bit embarrassing!!
Of course I'm kidding with you, but I'm also serious...but don't worry you're not the only one with a naked wall problem.
I often walk with my husband in the evening, especially since it gets dark so early during winters here in Canada. As we walk I catch wee glimpses of the walls in people's living rooms. I'm surprised how often they don't have anything hanging on their walls. I think there would be no bare walls if people knew how much having art enhances your living space and by extension your life as a whole.
Artwork can turn your house into a cozy home. I know this because I've spent most of my life making bright colorful paintings to help turn your empty naked walls, into a vibrant space that makes your home a beautiful place to relax and recharge your soul, and fill your life with daily joy.
I believe...
You deserve to have a home that is a sanctuary. A special place you create to nurture your heart, home, and soul. I believe your place should be cheerful, cozy and filled with beauty and color. All the art I make is in service of these beliefs.
My own home and sanctuary is with my husband, Shawn in Port Stanley, Canada. It’s a charming fishing village on the shores of Lake Erie, which luckily has a thriving, supportive arts community that I love!
My journey...
I didn't really plan on being an artist... it was just always who I was and what I did.
I grew up in the country, spending summers entertaining myself (pre-internet, no cable tv lol). During that time I loved putting pencil to paper and being delightfully surprised when what I created actually looked like the thing.
Drawing, and then painting, absorbed my youth, as I obsessively observed objects, fields, flowers, farm buildings, animals, birds, the sky, everything in my line of sight... trying to figure out how to realistically capture and convey their essence.
I also went to the library (again pre-internet) and repeatedly took out art books on my fav artists, Lauren Harris, Tom Thomson, Andrew Wyeth, Georgia O'keeffe, and Emily Carr... just to name a few.
As I grew older my love of creating led me to art school. In the years since graduating, I've spend my time working on creating art which I share on online with this website, as well as art in galleries, and licensing my art on products.
I feel blessed and grateful to be walking the artist's path. The journey fills me up as a person, and lets me share my creativity with others, so they in turn can enjoy and express themselves through art..
