Maine artist Cynthia Smith received her Bachelor’s Degree in Art Education from the University of Maine, her Master’s Degree from the University of Southern Maine, and taught High School art for 35 years. She began her focus on sculpture after moving from Connecticut to Maine in 1985, and works primarily in bronze, wood, stone, and clay. In addition to Saltwater Artists Gallery, Cynthia has shown her work at River Arts Gallery in Damariscotta, the Boothbay Region Art Foundation, and various other coastal Maine art venues.
Cynthia’s work reflects her interest in exploring a wide variety of media and she often integrates multiple materials or found objects into her pieces – along with a touch of whimsy. The subjects of her sculptures range from fanciful manipulations of human or animal forms to rhythmic arrangements of shapes and space. Cynthia approaches her work with thoughtful creativity an appreciation of her materials and...a sense of humor.
