LECTURES:

Cindy Kane has used multi media to explore her lifelong fascination with politics and nature. Growing up in Washington, D.C., she was shaped by the powerful political climate of the Vietnam War era. A self-taught artist, in her early years Cindy lived and worked at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, an experience which would inform her art for years to come. She draws on personal narrative and experience to create her paintings of maps, birds, toys, and artifacts from nature. Her work encompasses a broad range of themes, from the extinction of birds to the role of journalists reporting from war zones. Cindy has lived on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, with her family since 1996.
