A former student of ballet, Mrs. Boyd continues her association with the world of dance through her sensitive, gestured compositions of dancers and the performance settings of the theater. Noted for her fine, luminous brushwork and delicate palette, Mrs. Boyd frequently depicts ballet and family as a metaphor for civility and refinement of a certain lifestyle. Born in Argentina, Mrs. Boyd has resided in the U.S for the last three years. Highlights of her career include: Parkwest Galleries Annual Review; Commission from the Del Lago Theater in honor of the 2000 Inter-American Dance Confederation Competition, Cordoba, Argentina; Commission from the San Martin Opera Theater commemorating its 100th anniversary, Cordoba, Argentina; Solo Exhibition at the Colon Opera Theater in Buenos Aires to coincide with the Theater’s 80th anniversary; Critical Review in Correo de Arte Magazine; Exhibition at the 2002 VII International Ballet Festival of Miami; a continuing association with the Boca Ballet Theater. Locally, Boca Raton City Mayor, Steven Abrams, presented one of Boyd’s paintings to the New York City Ballet principal dancer, Wendy Whelan; and Boyd was also a featured artist at an exhibition at Wally Findlay Galleries in Palm Beach, Florida. Working in oils and watercolors, Mrs. Boyd’s impressionist style and short broken brushwork brings the world of story-book ballets and Argentine opera houses to the fore. An array of warm color reflects the elegant gentility and aesthetic harmonies of those performance venues. Her compositions intimate the delicacy and softness inherent in her unique female perception for which she has been publicly noted. Her work reflects the values of artistic virtuosity and patronage appealing to many art lovers and buyers worldwide.
