Cynthia began painting part time several years ago in Seattle, Washington. After many years of pursuing a career in corporate advertising, she returned to Florida. She now devotes all her time to painting.
She says, "Painting 'en plein air' is an exciting challenge trying to capture the ever changing play of light and shadow. Using nature as inspiration, does not mean simply duplicating the scene. Rather, my goal is to give the viewer the sense of actually being in the beautiful landscape".
Cynthia has earned a BFA from Florida State University, an MFA from the University of Florida and has studied at the Academy of Realist Art-Seattle, and with artist William Elston. Her work is exhibited and collected widely.
