Cindy began oil painting as a way to breathe new vitality into her illustrations. In doing so her passion for the old masters and realism was rekindled. Her attention turned to painting lush still lifes full of glowing light and the rich warm palette that was a quintessential part of her illustration.

She was busy with commitments and oil painting and the timing didn’t feel right - but a seed was planted.
