​Cindy Mawle is a Vancouver Island artist who works out of her studio surrounded by forest on the central island.  Her acrylic paintings on canvas mostly depict the surrounding areas on the Canadian west coast. Her main objective in these collections of work is to express how rooted she feels in her home surroundings, while walking a beach or forest trail. “I want my work to present itself as a touchstone to the planet we all live on.  I believe the more we connect to nature, whether in real time or through art, the better off we are as human beings.”
