| Cynthia Jeffries Knox Shoreline WA As a teenage artist Cynthia was driven to sculpt and do wheel-thrown work in clay, occasionally sharing my basement studio space and kiln with the small children in her rural Connecticut neighborhood. After high school she spent several years studying ceramics and design at The School for American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology. Then she ventured west to Colorado, working a day job as a professional chef, and using food as her artistic medium. After 6 years of kitchen work Cynthia moved to Seattle and enrolled in Cornish College of the Arts with the intent of developing her artistic voice. She attended Cornish for several years and began making work in a variety of media (video, painting, plaster, paper and wood sculpture) that spoke about body image for fat women. Cynthia later studied oil painting and printmaking at The Evergreen State College where she earned her Bachelorís Degree. Her current work is fueled by the idea of portraying the sensuality, beauty and charm of zaftig women. The work strives to create a universe through painting of abundantly scaled female figures overflowing with fleshiness and vibrant energy. Scale and finding fit are paramount. |
