Before launching her career as a lawyer and a consultant, Cynthia studied art and architecture. In 2004, she decided to get back to her artistic roots and immersed herself in watercolors by studying at the Art League of Alexandria, at the Corcoran and with several visiting artists teaching workshops in the U.S. and abroad. While studying art and graphic arts in the 1970s, all of her professors encouraged abstract painting. Since that time, she has gone “back to the basics” and loves painting plein air. Although she paints both representationally and abstractly in oil and other media, watercolor remains her favorite medium. Cynthia regularly shows her work at her own studio and gallery. Among other places her work has been showed are:
