Small Works Gallery Opening: Showing Raw Elegance
Cindy Davidson sees the world as a bountiful color scheme with raw undercurrents of texture. She sees color and its connection to emotion and its healing energy. Experimenting with different techniques, she is excited about pushing each painting to a “higher level”. She invites you to connect with the feeling of each painting and gain some peace and understanding from its presentation.
Cindy was born and raised in Winnipeg, where she lives with her two teenage children.
