Gallery de Boer in Owen Sound, Grey County, Canada | Gallery

Welcome to the Gallery de Boer, Owen Sound, Canada. Gallery de Boer ? Fine Art & Jazz owner and curator Ron de Boer has always loved art. His interest in art began as a six-year-old in Amsterdam when he was introduced to a neighbour, Jacobus Columbus, who happened to be a master painter and organist. This unlikely pair bonded, forming a relationship that lasted until a 15-year-old Ron immigrated to Canada with his family.
As a young adult, Ron started his career in architecture, but art continued to be a passion. An avid amateur photographer, Ron had the opportunity to accompany renowned wildlife artists Robert Bateman and Ron Parker on a photo shoot in northern British Columbia. Transfixed, Ron watched these talented painters capture an animal?s nature and personality on canvas. This trip was the first in a series of many worldwide field trips, which cemented Ron?s love of photography as an art form. Consequently, photography continues to play a big part in the success of the Gallery in Owen Sound.
