Since 2002, Cyn has focused her energy, experience and affinity for creating on making colorful, feisty and abstract art. Her artwork is best suited to personal and commercial interiors. She’s a charismatic and passionate visual artist who feels fortunate to have her artwork in homes and businesses in the USA, Europe and South America.

Cyn is also known as Ms. Cynthia to her young art students who studied with her at Sun&Moon Studio, a business she founded to encourage kids to create, draw and explore their own creativity.

She believes strongly in giving back to her community so she donates her time and artwork to help support local arts and charities such as SPARKcon and Visual Art Exchange.

Cyn was born in Ohio to great parents (they were married over 50 years!) who allowed her to explore her creative side. Artistry is in the family. Her dad was a a painter and his dad and grandmother were as well. As a youngster she painted rocks with a mud mixture and then traded them with her neighborhood pals for other childlike wonders. As a young woman her interest and talent in photography and composition led her to build a darkroom with her dad in her basement which moved her toward a career in the graphic arts. She worked at a newspaper and print shop and  later she founded Cynergie Studio, a graphic design shop with a focus on book cover design, illustration and website development.

This and That

Cyn is the Raleigh City Organizer for PechaKucha Night Raleigh. This event showcases local folks in the Triangle who have a passion they want to share with others in a fast-paced, high-energy idea exchange where 20 slides are presented for 20 seconds each. She is constantly on the lookout for inspiring stories or ideas from our own community to our own community. Events are held quarterly and are (mostly) free thanks to our sponsors. PechaKucha Nights was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture (Tokyo) as a way for creative minds to present their latest projects or work.

She is also an organizer with SPARKcon, a yearly arts festival that showcases the regions creative spirit. SPARKcon usually opens the festival with a PechaKucha Night in September.

She conceived and developed Choice Reward, an award-winning product to help parents encourage good behaviors in their children through a positive reward system.
