Cindy Carlson
Watercolor - Booth 10
Cindy Carlson earned a bachelor’s degree in art education from Eastern Illinois University and an associate degree in visual communications from Parkland College. After several years working as a graphic designer and raising a family, she began studying watercolor under Don Lake at Parkland College. Though she continues to work as a freelance designer, painting with watercolor has become her passion. Her subject matter includes things that have a personal meaning – landscapes and still-lifes from places she has visited, still-lifes using family heirlooms and collections and items from nature.
