Cindy’s artistic journey defies classification. She has been a photographer, builder, designer, carver, painter, gardener, and landscape artist. She has grown accustomed to the tools and techniques that help transform silver, wood, plant life, paints, dyes, as well as stone, ceramic, fabrics, glass, and plastics. Each of these varied explorations is now revived as she discovers how to interact with each of them in their own way, and in her own way.

Cindy’s first love of expression was the camera. As a studio photographer, Cindy had multiple art shows at galleries and academic institutions. She photographed fashion, commercial, wedding, and portraits, and eventually began reproducing Fine Art paintings on her Iris Giclee printer. Her artistic eye was further developed in the theatre as a set designer and eventually as a director. She then discovered sculpting wood and glass! From carving, painting, and clay wood, to cutting, shaping, and designing mosaic glass, Cindy sees no end to her imagination when working with these mediums.

Today, the pliability and adaptability of each of these mediums and materials inform her vision, as she borrows from one to enhance another. In both two-dimensional and 3-dimensional worlds, Cindy responds to the abstract forms inside her imagination and infuses these materials to create a concrete representation or suggestions of what she sees.
