''Cynthia Guy Slack is a portraitist in the Renaissance tradition, incorporating key elements of her subjects' lives into their portraits.
For instance, in her portrait of Ruth she has included photos of Ruth's family, a kiss with a Rothschild Giraffe named George in Kenya, images of old films, a subject which Ruth used to teach at McMaster University in Canada, and a few glimpses of her oil paintings.

Again, as often happened in the Renaissance, the frame continues the portrait. On the upper left corner of the frame is an image of CF-YTK, Ruth's small single engine Piper Cherokee, and in the lower right corner is her beloved dog Charlotte, her lead trailing behind her.
Cynthia's portraits may be commissioned by contacting the artist.''  -Ruth Dwyer
