Mixed-media pieces by Cynthia Yachtman

Cynthia Yachtman

I work primarily with acrylic and latex paints, inks, papers and charcoal. My images contain many diverse layers of meaning from the universal to the specific and personal. My works are often abstract. I am frequently interested in pattern and/or creating a rich sensual surface by making layer upon layer of marks. There is often an unseen history within these layers as images are obscured and revealed. My work frequently gives reference to my experience with nature. At times it speaks to issues of social justice, revelation and connection.

Cynthia is a Seattle-based artist and art instructor. She grew up in the midwest with a mother who taught the old technique of Porcelain/China Painting. Cynthia worked as an apprentice for master potter JT Abernathy before becoming a production potter. After a move to the West Coast, she received a BFA in painting from UW. She made the switch to 2D at that time and has stayed there, making paintings, collages and prints. Her work is frequently shown on the West Coast and is housed in multiple collections and has been shown at The Pacific Science Center, Seattle Art Museum Sales and Rental Gallery, and Seattle Pacific University to mention a few. You can find her at Facebook and Instagram.
