Showcasing Cindy's Fabric Art

I am a US based mixed media artist.  I've worked with watercolors and acrylic paint in the past,  but now I create primarily using new and re-purposed textiles and found items. 

For 15 years I've been useing various textiles and sewing techniques to define and document my view of the world around me. When I created this piece  I was thinking of a woman of a "certain age" reflecting on her past while planning her future. I gave her green eye shadow and purple silk gloves because, why not!  I love her. 

Most of the time I am inspired by the ordinary, like this photo I took of an alley in Stillwater, Oklahoma.  I see shapes and patterns in the mundane that make me think "What if...?" I actually created a piece using this photo as an inspiration, but in my mind it needed a lot more color.  Find it in my Portfolio and let me know what you think.
