Cindy Barratt, ASA

Biography:

Cindy was born and resided in Spruce Grove, Alberta until 2009, at which time she moved nearby to Stony Plain. She is a self-taught, professional artist, who was interested in art since childhood and in 1991 decided to pursue it as a full-time career.

For many years Cindy primarily worked in watercolour or acrylic with the focus of capturing flowers, their beauty, their “souls” and personalities and from time to time still returns to her “floral roots”. In recent years she has broaden her scope of work to include landscapes, flora and fauna of various conservation and natural areas in the hopes she can generate appreciation, educate and promote the importance of conserving and protecting natural areas, habitats and their species.

In 2013 Cindy began developing an exhibition of works featuring the Iconic Alberta Rose. Working in both watercolour and acrylic these paintings capture the Alberta Rose in various stages, habitats, seasons and conditions, allowing the viewer to draw the parallels between it's nuances and the province and people of Alberta.

Over numerous years Cindy volunteered for many arts organizations and is a longstanding member of the Allied Arts Council of Spruce Grove and juried member of the Alberta Society of Artists and has volunteered with both organizations. She has taught art for 30 years and currently teaches classes and workshops at the AAC in Spruce Grove and NESA in Edmonton.

In 2008, Cindy received the Award of Excellence in the category of Arts from the City of Spruce Grove in recognition of her achievements as an artist as well as for her years of volunteer service with the Allied Arts Council of Spruce Grove. Her work can be found in collections such as the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Alberta Treasury Branches, Parkland County, Saskatchewan Government Insurance and the City of Spruce Grove as well many more corporate and private collections. She is represented by The Art Gallery of Alberta, Sales & Rentals, Edmonton, Candler Art Gallery in Camrose, and The Spruce Grove Art Gallery, AB.
