Cindy Kane
Cindy Kane grew up in Washington DC during the Vietnam War era, absorbing the period's powerful political climate. She
is a self taught artist whose multi media work is born out of a deep
sense of connection to the political and environmental issues of our
times.
Her
early work was influenced by the experience of living and working at
the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she had the
opportunity to document Anasazi Indian pictographs
in pen and ink drawings. These images would inform her work for years to come.
She
draws on personal narrative and experience to create her paintings of
maps, birds, toys, and artifacts from nature, often collaging bits of
newspaper
headlines, pieces of her children's homework, and pages of sheet music beneath layers of color and imagery.
In
a review of her work, author and critic John Loughery wrote; "Kane
leads us into a peculiar netherworld, a hard to place area that's both
reassuringly ancient, and anxiously modern. This is a painter who is
interested in the unconscious and the archetypal, and utilizes her own
private, (but not inaccessible) vocabulary and imagery."
Cindy
has exhibited her work nationally in galleries and museums since 1986,
and her paintings can be found in a number of private and public collections, including the United States Embassies in Tijuanna, Mexico, and in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
She has lived on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts with her husband and two daughters since 1996.
