FASO Collector Recommends: Cynthia Dearing

Biography
As an award winning artist and signature member of MTWS, Cynthia creates paintings that speak both to her and to others about the beauty in the world around us. She lures the viewer into her watercolors to become involved in the scene and to connect to the painting’s place and time.
She loves watercolor because it provides unique challenges while presenting opportunities to explore how colors work. It is not a medium to be totally controlled and manipulated; that is precisely what draws Cynthia hypnotically to the process, even utterly to the point of addictive. The unique spontaneity of the medium fascinates her.
After growing up in Conroe, Texas, and receiving her BFA from Sam Houston State University in 1987, she found her way to Montana. The regional scenery speaks to her and inspires her work. She currently lives in Columbia Falls, Montana, the gateway to Glacier National Park.
Without any prior art instruction, she started taking watercolor classes in 2017 at the local community college. She fell in love with the flow of the medium and has been hooked ever since. She has studied extensively with Karen Leigh in Kalispell, Montana, and other influential watercolorists: Ted Nuttall, Keiko Tanabe, Soon Y Warren, Eric Weigardt and Iain Stewart. She has joined in countless classes and tutorials to learn different ways to experiment with the medium. She knows her exploration into watercolor will provide a life-long learning journey.
