Cynthia Faw 

Cynthia Faw is a Pacific Northwest artist who works in watercolor, oil and pastels.  Her representational paintings evoke quiet interactions with the world around us, embracing seascapes, landscapes and peaceful urban idylls. She devotes her art to celebrating the beauty in finding contemplative places.

 

Her subjects are treated with expressive realism, with accents of color to enhance focus and whimsy in a scene.  Cynthia's sources include both real and imagined places she has experienced over a lifetime as an artist and commercial architect.  She has shown her work in PNW galleries and other venues.  Cynthia earned her BS degree in Fine and Applied Arts from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  She holds a Master of Architecture degree from the same institution, where she also taught undergraduate architectural design studios.  Cynthia has continued to take classes from PNW master artists with varied approaches to realistic painting.

 

Cynthia's works are currently on display at Fogue Gallery and Studios in Seattle and at the Art Gallery of SnoValley in Snoqualmie, WA.  She is a member of the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Artists, the Northwest Watercolor Society and the Mt. Si Artist Guild.
