Cindy began her art career fresh out of college. With a political science degree in hand, she began working as assistant to mural artist, Tina Carlson-Wells in San Diego county. After about a year as Carlson-Wells’ assistant, Cindy began her own business painting murals for clients all over southern California, such as individuals, designers, non-profit organizations, Standard Pacific homebuilders, and the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar, CA. During this time, she began to show her paintings at several southern California galleries and art festivals, including the La Jolla Festival of the Arts and La Quinta Arts Festival. She continued this work for about 10 years until she and her husband moved to Boulder, CO in 2007 and Cindy took a professional break to raise her two young children.

In 2012, Cindy started spending more time in the studio and looking for new avenues to display her growing body of work. These days, She splits her creative time between her north Boulder painting studio and a small jewelry metalsmithing studio in her basement. She enjoys the experience of working with vastly different media (paint, paper, metal) and finds that spending time with each helps to feed inspiration for the others.
