Cathy Biro

The feminine form is one of the most primal images in human culture, and splendid with soft strength, the naked woman in all her imperfect glory is the focus of Cathy Biro's works. 

A native of Southern Ontario, Cathy possesses both an Honors degree in Arts, and a Bachelor in Education. An art teacher, she teaches in the same school she has been with since 1999. For a time she focused solely on her students, but through the nurturing of young talent her own calling became stronger and more insistent, until she responded and returned to her own work, capturing the female form and imbuing it with the learnings of her lifetime. She now balances her two loves, teaching, and creating female nudes which have a warm depth, an almost wood-like quality skilfully rendered in acrylic on canvas. Each piece carries with it a sensual sexuality, yet there is also a spiritual quality that transcends the lewd, every curve and line cast with maturity.
