Cindy is a contemporary realist painter who divides her time between working in the studio and teaching at the Academy of Realist Art. Boston. Cindy studied in the rigorous classical tradition in Italy, France, Canada and the U.S.A. with the greatest influence coming from the tutelage of the master painter Michael John Angel. He has greatly influenced her work and was the genesis of her passionate commitment to share what she has learned. Cindy is currently working on two series simultaneously one entitled “Kunstmarchen, Interpreting Themes Found in the Tale of Little Red Riding Hood” and the other “The Cougar Chronicles”. She looks forward to their imminent unveiling.
