“It’s all about bringing a moment of joy to people’s lives… 
whether it’s the smile that comes across their face
when they look at a drawing of their favorite animal,
or the tear in their eye when they view a portrait of their loved one."

Cindy Farmer

 

Cindy was born in Canton,
Ohio and began her art
career in high school
taking a commercial art
course and doing freelance
art work for teachers,
friends, etc.

She won a scholarship
to the Columbus College
of Art and Design.

 


"Self-Portrait".................Pastel

 

 


"Carrie"........color pencil

After working six years as senior artist for the Ohio Bell Telephone Company, she started doing portraits and other freelance work at home in order to be with her 3 young boys.

Over the years, Cindy has done many commissioned portraits and wildlife paintings, has taught drawing classes, and has won numerous awards.

 

Her largest project has been a collection of over 375 pen and ink
show dog illustrations that are available nationally as reproductions
on mugs, T-shirts, note cards, and many other products.

Although Cindy works in pastels, charcoals, acrylics,
watercolors, pencil and pen & ink, her favorite medium
is the rather unusual prismacolor pencil.

"It offers the control and very fine detailing that I desire
and my customers demand. I like the looks of disbelief
when someone learns that the piece they were admiring
was done in JUST colored pencils!"

 

Critics have described
Cindy's work as highly
realistic and detailed,
seeming to magically
capture the attitude or
mood of the subject.


"Russ, Ben, and Jeff"......color pencil
