"My love of nature and beauty has  inspired me to make art since I was a small child.  I have always been intrigued by the shape of natural forms, and the play of light on them.  I do invent my own forms and colors of things, but I believe the reality of my creations already exists somewhere in the Universe.  I take joy in the original expression of that which surrounds us.  Ultimately, I want my paintings to express energy and a sense of wonder to the viewer.”

Cyndi was educated at the University of Florida in Gainesville.  She has a Bachelors degree in Art and a Masters degree in Art Education, and has taught art for 27 years at all   levels.   Since retiring from public teaching,  Cynthia paints full time, and displays her work in various shows and exhibitions in the area. 

Cyndi primarily works in oils and acrylics but sometimes does collage, and clay work, and also mixed media.  Her subject matter is varied, and she explores various techniques in an attempt to create the most suitable expression for each piece.  Her paintings are noted for their unusual combinations of colors, and strong contrasts.
