Chiaroscuro Egg

-

Every so often I'll veer away from my preferred style to see what I can come up with. When I taught drawing at the Art Institute of Portland, I had my students draw eggs with strong chiaroscuro to the various lights and drrks. In this particular drawing, I was inspired by an artist who layers paper as well. I combined the two ideas into one. Love, Cynthia ❤️

I know my mission. and how my art helps individuals. I know who I am and what I

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.
