Meet the Artist
 Cynthia Jewell Pollett, a native of Aiken, SC, has painted professionally for 29 years. She graduated for Atlanta College of Art with a BFA degree in 1978.
Cynthia enjoys working in a variety of media, but standing in front of the canvas with a pallet of oils is her preference.
In 1980, Cynthia married and accepted a job as Art Director for Red Bird Mission in the Appalachian hills of Kentucky. After a number of years she & her husband and three children moved back to SC. While raising their children, Cynthia developed a successful graphic design business that allowed her to use her creative skills but Cynthia's love for painting has always been the desire of her heart. Since 2006, Cynthia has been glad to return to painting full time.
Cynthia's pieces - "impressionistic cubism" are built from a singular wealth, the Glory of God. For Cynthia, behind even the tiniest thing lies the sublime nature of God. She cannot avoid painting it. Her biblical world view allows her to see His message in everything and it is this message that strengthens her work. |
