“I search for ways to create a sense of emotion and a heightened sensitivity to those moments that too often pass by unnoticed. Whether capturing an introspective moment of a figure, or the quiet stillness in an arrangement of treasured objects, I find an honesty and poetry in the story that each has to tell.”

So says Cynthia Feustel in describing what she strives to achieve with each of her paintings, whether she is depicting a horse or fox, fruit or flowers, an old man carving a piece of wood, or a cowgirl sitting on a rock, lost in thought.
