Cindy's art appears regularly in downtown Eau Gallie at the Alla Prima Salon & Gallery on Highland Avenue. Karen Lewis, owner, welcomes you in to browse, make a purchase or have your hair cut! She is closed on Tuesdays.

On Hwy 105 in Foscoe, North Carolina, Nine Lives carries Cindy’s work in silverpoint. An age-old technique executed with silver on a prepared surface, silverpoint is rarely done these days due to the time involved. Her series features local landmarks of the area.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Oct 29 - Dec 2 Melbourne Beach Library – This will be the final stop of the “Friends & Faux” collection of paintings! One last opportunity to enjoy copies of well known favorites by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cassett, Benson and many others. Several of these paintings have found new homes so the Pieces of Eight will not be showing them together again. The original collection has been preserved in a book titled “The Masters’ Pieces” which also includes a history about each of the 16 famous artists. You can order your copy by clicking on the Gallery section and choosing the book cover.
Nov 15 - Jan 15 Suntree Café, 718 South Patrick Dr., Satellite Bch – “Eight Points of View” will feature a marsh scene experienced and photographed by each of the members of the Pieces of Eight. Eight of us tackled 12 x 16 inch canvases with loads of oil paint and determination and you will be surprised at the results. Also included will be selected new works by each artist. As always, the work is for sale AND as always, you will very much enjoy your meal at this popular restaurant. Hours: 7 a.m. until 2 p.m., T- Sunday.
Dec 13 My house, 6489 Sheridan Road in Melbourne Village, the end of year “Porch Sale.” Once again Sandy Johnson and I will open the doors to sell off “retired” pieces and introduce some brand new.

PAST EVENTS
Sept The trip to Spring Island in early September was all a painter could ask for: great views, great companions and great wine! See my “On the Easel” for some snaps of painting outdoors…for the first time I actually enjoyed completing a piece en plein air. Look for more work to come of this trip, the marshes were gorgeous as were the old oaks and low country surrounds.
   
 
 
 

“If you wish to learn more about art, a technique, a medium or its support, go to show openings and ask questions. Creating art is such a solitary activity that an artist usually jumps at the chance to talk about a piece. In fact, with just a nudge, an artist will probably tell more than you really wanted to know!”
