Cynthia is a British-American artist and urban sketcher in Windsor with an international background in environmental planning. Her career focus has shifted from master plans of thousands of hectares, to the intimate scale of everyday life around her. ‘Windsor on My Wall’ is her series of watercolours and drawings inspired by people and places in her home town.
Cynthia has a BFA degree in painting and further degrees in environmental planning and design. She is an elected member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art - The Drawing Society (SGFA) and for three years served on the SGFA council. Her art is in private collections in Britain and abroad, and can be seen in solo and group exhibitions in and around the Thames Valley, and in group exhibitions in London and further afield.
