Cinda Culver began her art practice when her kids were old enough to take care of themselves. With more time and freedom, she began taking drawing classes. Drawing led to pastels, which led to watercolors, then, after a decade or so, she began working in acrylics and oil. Her work is impressionistic, sometimes abstract, and often intricately textured. Across various media, she explores figures, flowers, and fecundity. She lives between Indiana, where her studio is in a basement, and Florida, where her studio is in a garage.
