Inspired by travel and life experiences, my paintings reveal the poetic character and personal meaning found within each subject through luminous watercolor.
Influenced by generations of artists in my family, I honor that creative legacy through painting and teaching—encouraging artists to look beyond first impressions, connect with, and paint from their own experiences.
For more than 25 years, I’ve conducted international plein air retreats and workshops and, since 2019, developed immersive online watercolor programs for artists of all levels.

Inspired by the women artists in her family, Cindy discovered early on that creativity could shape her life.

Many paintings begin in sketchbooks while guiding workshops across the world; others evolve in the studio, always guided by luminous color and intuitive choices.
