Collection: Cindy Parker Aune

I have always been an artist. I simply did not realize it until 2010 when my focus became large scale abstracted images on canvas. Previously I was a draftsman, wholesale business owner, commercial tile artist, freelance illustrator and mom.

Inspiration may come from anywhere: random face, image on tv, photo, anything that sparks my interest and imagination. I have two distinct bodies of work, faces & figures and florals. Subjects are a combination of whimsy and reality, or as my friend described it, “whimsical with a dark underbelly”.

 I invite the viewer to look beneath the surface of my work, seeking the underlying tones, textures and shapes.
