LIVE PAINTING EVENT!

-
This Saturday, from 1-3PM, I'll demonstrate my GOUACHE painting technique at the Dick Blick art store in the Pearl District. Bring a friend, and see how I use it within my work!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this art medium, gouache /ɡwäSH/ paint is a matte watercolor often used in illustration, It's rich, saturated, and opaque, which is why I love using it.

Here is a link to an article I wrote about it last year: GOUACHE

Dick Blick art store is located at 1115 NW Glisan St, Portland, OR 97209.

DETAILS:
When: Saturday, February 3rd, 1-3PM
Where: Dick Blick Art Store 1115 NW Glisan St, Portland, OR 97209

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU JOIN ME!

Hands & Leaves as a Reminder to Play

-
Image
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.

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. I was grateful to have had the experience, but the gallery and I weren't a good fit for each other anymore (I was too interested in finding every way I could to make money from my art [read: reproductions|). It ended September 2020. Even thought I don't sell reproductions anymore like I used to, I learned to connect with individuals authentically and discuss how our past and childhoods affect who we are today. I know my mission. and how my art helps individuals. I know who I am and what I...

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
