Cynthia (Cindy) Ard ~ I started out as a child learning the love of coloring and drawing by my dad and as I grew I took art classes. But, as with many people, sometimes life gets in the way. I left my talents behind to raise my child (greatest thing I have ever done) and honestly to just make ends meet. With the love and support of my wonderful husband, I returned to college to study Graphic Design. Along the way, I had to take several drawing, painting and photography classes. I was brought back to that child with the coloring book. I now am painting and snapping photos on regular bases and couldn't be happier. Thanks to my loving husband and family my dreams are coming true. I am truly blessed.Going through the process of painting is a spiritual voyage. I paint with other living things in mind. My work is my own unique voice. I've tried to stop and do other things but I always go back to it.
