Having studied with local, national and international feltmakers, Cynthia creates 2 and 3 dimensional artwork, as well as wearables including hats, scarves and purses. Cynthia is a member of several local and international felting and fiber guilds and organizations. Her work has won several awards in exhibitions sponsored by the Fine Art’s League of Cary, and has been included in juried exhibitions at the Independent Art Company in Wilmington, NC, and the textile competition at the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair in Asheville, NC.; and has been showcased at the Duke Eye Center.  Her piece 'Getting Out of My Own Way' won 1^st place in the Durham Arts Guild’s 55^th Annual Juried Art Show.

Cynthia is a member of the Cary Gallery of Artists cooperative where her work is displayed along with 20+ other local artists of varying mediums. Also, her work can be seen at the Green Hill Center for NC Art in Greensboro, NOFO at the Pig in Raleigh, and Gilded Palette Gallery in Wake Forest.

Cynthia enjoys any opportunity to demonstrate or teach felting as she believes creating public awareness of the felting process and sharing the potential of this medium are ongoing opportunities. In an effort to share the world of felting to those outside of textiles, Cynthia has participated in cultural & visual arts boards and artist selection panels for municipal projects. 

Cynthia’s studio, called ARTiFELTs, is located in Cary NC.   Cynthia’s studio is open by appointment.

Cynthia's husband, Scott, and 3 children, Tyler, Matt & Katelyn, are her biggest fans and best inspiration.
