Collection: Cindy Carstesen

Cindy Carstesen is a Kingston-based artist whose love of watercolour began at the age of thirteen, when she first studied under the guidance of a local watercolour artist. She went on to pursue her passion formally, earning a Fine Arts education at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario, which she now calls home. In her current floral series, Cindy draws inspiration from the playful spirit of mid-century modern design and the vivid colours of 1960s and 1970s textile patterns. Her work features vibrant, expressive still life florals rendered in watercolour and inks, celebrating colour, form, and joyful nostalgia.
