Cindy is best known for her Canadian West Coast paintings—direct expressions of her deep connection to Vancouver Island. Recently, she has been pushing her boundaries, drawing on skills honed over the years to explore a more intuitive, semi-abstract style. Out of this new direction, the raven has appeared—an unexpected yet powerful presence. Across the cultures of the northern hemisphere, the raven is steeped in mythology, often seen as a guide or messenger. For Cindy, its message is clear: “You are going in the right direction.”

Still, the Island’s landscapes remain an endless source of inspiration. As Cindy says, “How can I not paint them? It is so incredibly beautiful here!”
