For today's episode, we sat down with Cynthia Rosen, a successful palette knife artist who began painting seriously after raising six children and having previously worked as an art educator, first exploring realism before moving into abstraction and plein air painting. After a break from art to focus on family, Cynthia returned to painting through mural projects, eventually discovering her passion for plein air and the palette knife technique. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the importance of continuous growth, problem-solving, and self-awareness in her creative process, often working on multiple canvases at once. Cynthia credits social media, particularly Facebook art groups, and networking at plein air events with helping her build a successful career later in life. She also discusses her teaching philosophy in workshops, her belief in balancing hard work and luck, and reminds artists that it's the heart that drives the work. Finally, Cynthia tells us where we can see more of her artwork and to stay posted for her upcoming shows and workshops!
