Meet December/January Artist Cynthia Faw

12/9/2021

Cynthia has been painting in earnest for the past 11 years, after retiring from a long career as a licensed architect. She graduated with her BA/Fine and Applied Arts and MA/Architecture from the University of Illinois during the 1970s. She has been exhibiting her paintings since 2016, with two one-person shows. Cynthia is a member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and the Mt. Si Artist Guild. Her works have been reproduced in DESTIG magazine, and many of her paintings are in private collections.
Her work explores the concept of voyaging—through life, space and time. Living next to Puget Sound and sailing aboard her beloved sloop “Mirage” influence Cynthia’s artistic themes: marine landscapes and visual explorations of the tenuous edge between the land and the sea. Her favorite medium, watercolor, seems a natural fit with the seashores, lighthouses, boats and fishers (both people and creatures) that she frequently depicts.
