Cindy loves spending time in nature, traveling, and learning about other cultures:  their art, traditions, and architecture. Always aware of color, pattern, and texture, these experiences inform for her work. Cindy has evolved a personal style that is highly sophisticated and meticulous in attention to craftsmanship.  Her process incorporates a technique she developed of applying small droplets of encaustic, a combination of beeswax, resin and pigment, one-by-one to the surface of the painting and exploring the relationship of these drips to the spaces in between them.  The overall effect produces a tactile quality that when viewed in person, engages those who encounter it.
