Cindy Bouwers is a painter and designer. She obtained a BFA and also taught design at the Alberta University of the Arts before pursuing painting full-time. She has shown in Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary and recently won the Duggan Landscape Award from the Society of Canadian Artists. Her inspiration comes from watching the play of light, then translating shapes and patterns — striving to bring the viewer into a shared experience, a moment of pleasure, a recognition of beauty and a sense of hope.
