About Cindy
I am in The Top 40 Sanlam Portrait Awards 2017 out of 1,437 entries in SA.
About the artist A passion for oil palette knife painting. From photo-realism in portraits (pencil and oil) to complete freedom with painting with a palette knife, which I truly love doing. Drawing for the last 7 years, doing oil paintings for a year and a half. Self taught artist using the help of an art teacher.
I was born in Northern Rhodesia on a fine December day in 1957. My family and I lived there until I was 5 years of age. My mother and father thought it would be a great new venture to go to Johannesburg and so we did, just before independence. Drawing is a passion of mine, watching the beauty of a person come alive this I want to share with others. Art was a subject I did at school and always had an interest in it. In Std 7 I won first prize for a drawing competition. My creative side lead me into the hairdressing field that I excelled in. I worked in the newly developed Eastgate Shopping Centre, for Dave and Johan. (Shows my age) My husband and 3 children have spent most of our lives in Gauteng. My husbands work then allowed us the wonderful opportunity to move to Hartebeespoort dam, I have since moved back to Honeydew Johannesburg. About the art and inspiration. One sunny day 7 years ago I rediscovered, the magic of drawing and how it inspires. I quickly pursued with my regained interest, this time with pencil drawing, my skills quickly started to resurface. I eagerly pursued this interest and encouraged it to grow. To polish up on my skills I decided to have lessons with an artist, to help with some direction, and to learn more about pencil technique and shading. Using these new found techniques of pencil artistry, I became inspired with many facets especially with beautiful sensual art. Then ventured into oil painting a year and half ago with another art teacher, my passion seems to be in pallet knife painting. ow living in Hartbeespoort I welcome feedback and would love to hear from you.
