BAGGAGE PILLIAR - Sacramento, CA Airport

-
Constructed of over 700 pieces of refurbished luggage of all shapes and sizes, this 23-foot tall pillar sculpture titled SAMSON, 1998, was created by artist BRIAN GOGGIN. It is one of two luggage pillars supporting the airport’s roof, and if they were rolled away, the roof might come cave in! The sculpture was commissioned by the Sacramento Arts Commission.

2006 - 2020 Gallery Shows

-

In 2006, I had my first show at the Augen Gallery in Portland, Oregon (my first actual gallery shows were at the Marghitta Feldman Gallery 2003-2005) in Portland. I was 36, and was THRILLED to be in such a great gallery that championed my work. I worked my ass off, made art 6 days a week, and taught at the Art Institute of Portland, and my art was reviewed by Richard Speer in ArtNEWS Magazine! I had many shows afterward, sold a lot of art, connected with individuals and then it ran its course.

As a young child, I creatively adjusted myself so that nobody really knew what I liked. It was a way to stay under the radar, so as not to rock the boat in my family. I also didn't even really know how to play. Now I know how to express myself and play, but it's taken some time. My colorful work is a reflection of play and how play is also possible for you too. May this piece be a reminder that you're safe to play.

A Drawing About Rain

-
Image
As someone who grew up in Portland, Oregon (on the west side of the Cascade Mountain Range in the Pacific Northwest [USA]), rain is something that is simply part of life. When it isn't raining, like during the summer, I miss it, and can't wait for it to begin again. When it is raining, or let's say raining too much, I wish it would stop so I can at least go for a walk. ❤️Cynthia "Water Swirl 3" Gel ink on acid-free paper 11 x 8.5 in (28 x 22 cm) $200 Purchase it here: https://buy.stripe.com/7sI28b301fr522c9B0 #cynthiamosser #drawing #blueline #art #raindrops #rain #pnw #raining #water #vancouverwa
