About the Artist
Cynthia Jeffrey studied fine arts in Boston, Massachusetts before moving to Martha's Vineyard, pursuing her artistic calling. After being a starving artist for a few years she moved back to the mainland to work in the fashion belt industry, where she discovered a love for fabric, leather and various small piece goods.
While raising her family she worked in hospital administration and support. She enjoyed a twenty two year career with Providence Health and services of Oregon.
Now Cynthia paints landscapes in oil, preferring to be outdoors, discovering the beauty of the Willamette Valley and Dundee Hills. She is a member of Portland Urban Sketchers, Portland Alla Prima Group and The Oregon Society of Artists. She has shown her paintings at the Society's gallery and takes classes steadily to improve on her skills.
As a show of gratitude to Cynthia’s contribution to the 2022 McMinnville Short Film Festival, she will be a Featured Artist at McMinnville’s The Gallery at Ten Oaks from February 1-28. Cynthia appreciates this opportunity to show her paintings at the Gallery, and feels so honored to have her painting chosen to represent the image for this year's McMinnville Short Film Festival.
