Cindy is a mixed media artist residing in Phoenix , Arizona . She’s had a passion to create from a very early age. Lacking funds for her projects she took to salvaging recycled pieces for her work in elementary school. She found it to be wonderfully creative and continues to use recycled products in her art projects today. She’s a realistic artist that bored of the normal paint and brush venue. Shortly after her husband’s death in 2002, she found she was able to channel her grief into her art. To this day she uses it as a form of meditation. Her present art is based on salvaged and recycled pieces that invoke a realization in the viewer of the waste and excess that takes place in the world. She also attempts to have a basic theme to each piece such as kinship, material excess and spirituality. She presently shows her work at Red Dog Gallery in the funky historic First Friday district of downtown Phoenix . She has taught painting, drawing and varied mixed media techniques throughout her career at local shops, city facilities, painting centers and colleges and for individual fulfillment. Special effects make-up is also a diverse area of her art and she is known as the Halloween Diva to her friends.
