Cynthia Council is an emerging regional artist who began her formal art training in 2002. Prior to that, she painted for fun and for self-expression. Council has traveled extensively around the world, lending her a broad viewpoint of life which is apparent in her artwork. Each of Council's paintings tells a story, unfolding for the viewer on the canvas in vivid colors and imagery. Council says of her artistic process, "Painting provides a means to explore an inner reality. Painting captures the Utopian society that I imagine and helps me to convey not only what I see, but also what I feel. I express these experiences through narrative abstracts."

Very early in her training, she began showing her art and winning juried exhibitions and awards. She will be exhibiting her artwork at the Colquitt County Arts Center from January 19 to March 1, 2008.

She is currently a member of both the Thomasville Cultural Center Artists Guild and the Southern Artists League. To read more about Council's background, please refer to her resume page.
