CINDY JANE MARTIN

I’m a Fort Collins mixed media artist who brings a teaching career in writing and literature to the visual art of storytelling. Using an array of media, I create characters and scenes that express hidden meanings and implied narratives. My materials include carefully sourced antiquarian books along with vintage papers and photographs, to which I add acrylic paint, soft and oil pastel, graphite, and charcoal. My art evokes unspoken feelings and long-forgotten memories, and my intuitive style sets both humorous and melancholic tones. 

I’ve lived in Colorado for over 40 years, raising a family and enjoying all the Rocky Mountains have to offer—hiking, skiing, cycling, and camping. I love the Western style and recreational culture of Colorado, and I find the people here the friendliest ever. I’m proud to be a Coloradan!
