Cynthia and her husband Michael are owners of the Eastport Breakwater Gallery. She is a pastel artist who enjoys painting throughout the state of Maine. Nature is important to her because of the profound beauty it holds as well as its solitude. In her work she is interested in showing a sense of space, time and atmosphere. She says, “Pastels are wonderful to work with because of the many color choices and the rich texture that the pastel provides.” Cynthia is a graduate of University of Maine at Orono and has taken pastel classes from the Maine College of Art. Cynthia and her husband are full time residents of Eastport and live above their Gallery.
