Watercolors by Cindy Jones Kinsinger will be on display in the Jessie Griffing Gallery of the Oneida Kallet Civic Center from July 7th through Aug. 18.
Kinsinger is a local amateur watercolor artist who has studied at Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute with Trish Murtha. She was also inspired and mentored by other local artists including Kathy Kernan and Ellie Carbone. Currently she is studying with Joanne DeStefano.
This exhibit is Kinsinger’s first solo show.
The artist is originally from Maine, and draws inspiration for her work from Down East as well as local and Adirondack scenes.
“I’ve loved drawing and creating since I was a young child. I began painting with watercolor about fifteen years ago. It’s been a ‘love/hate’ experience! I feel I have a long way to go before I can truly love the media.”
She credits artist/instructor Joanne DeStefano with unlocking the freedom of watercolor for her. according to DeStefano, “It’s only a piece of paper.”
In addition to gallery viewing, you can find Cindy’s paintings on her new Facebook page in the near future. Most of the framed originals on display in the gallery are for sale. Various print sizes will be available,as well.
The public is invited to view this exhibit Mon-Fri, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. now through August 18, 2016. Admission to the gallery is free.
