Cindy has always felt a connection with horses. Even when she was a girl she would
draw horses. She is a 2001 honors graduate of the Center for Creative Studies in
Detroit with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
She lives in Bellaire, Michigan, with her
husband and son and enjoys being in nature and interacting with all animals. In her
work she strives to capture the spirit or soul of each individual animal making the
artwork come alive. Horses have been her favorite subjects but she also focuses on
dogs, birds, deer, or any animal that might catch her fancy. Cindy also specializes
in custom animal portraits, working from photos of the pet.
Cindy works mainly
in pastel because she loves the feel of it, the softness she can achieve and also
the ability to move it around on the paper without any brushes to get in the way.
Cindy has been attending art shows and selling her work since she was thirteen years
old. She is now an internationally collected artist. She has won numerous awards,
mostly for her paintings of horses -
