Abstract painter Cyndi Horn is Butterfield Garage’s June Featured Artist.
2021-06-01 11:00 - 2021-06-30 17:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
On display will be her newest series of both Cruciform and Minimalist mixed media canvases
Cyndi Horn graduated from Florida State with a degree in graphic design, most of her career life has ranged from design studios, advertising agencies and TV broadcast networks, where she has been recognized on a local and state level with Addy Awards. She painted at a young age for meditation and gratification, and did not return to fine art until 2014 when she moved from Atlanta to Florida.
Her design influence provides a strong foundation for her non-objective work. Using color, line, shapes, textures and text in her multi media pieces, she works intuitively, allowing her impulses to drive the direction the piece takes. Simplifying and creating a visual rhythm is the underlying esthetic in her work.
Cyndi has become fascinated with using cruciforms as a unifying structure, in which she divides the canvas into active and calm areas. The intersecting crossovers and adjoining elements captivates the viewers imagination. Her minimalism paintings are stripped down simple composistions that evoke thru color or shape an expansive, restful moment. Cyndi will be in the gallery all day Sat. June 19 to discuss her work.
Cyndi is a member of SOMMA, Society of Mixed Media Artists, and has won several awards in the groups exhibits. She has been a member of Butterfield Garage Gallery for the last two years. Visit us during artwalk June 4th from 11am-9pm to view her paintings. We are are also open 7 days a week from 11-5pm. Free parking is available in front and back of the building.
