Statement
I am an artist who works predominantly in oil but also in pastel and watercolor. I have always had a desire to be creative, to recreate something that made an impression or inspired me. I enjoy looking at things with a discerning artists eye, studying the shapes, colors, values, how they relate to one another and then rendering these perceptions on canvas. I enjoy painting urban scenes because of my cherished memories living in the heart of Chicago. I enjoy painting rural scenes because of my great memories growing up in a small Iowa farm town and I enjoy painting coastal scenes because of the years lived in Southern California. Each brushstroke is the result of observations, skills learned, numerous workshops and most importantly, the emotion I am feeling about it. My painting allows me to discover the world, learn more about myself and helps me to cope with personal and life challenges. This desire to keep painting, observing and learning has me on a fabulous creative journey. Cynthia Dybsky
