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 architect.  She has shown her work in PNW galleries and other venues.  Cynthia has a 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 design studios.  Cynthia has continued to take classes from PNW master artists with varied approaches to realistic painting, including the late Tom Hoffmann.

 

Cynthia is a member artist at the Art Gallery of SnoValley and a member of the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Artists, the Northwest Watercolor Society and the Mt. Is Artist Guild.
