Cindy Bouwers was born in Picture Butte, Alberta. In 1984, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, with Distinction, in Visual Communication Design from the University of Alberta. She went on to enjoy a successful career as a graphic designer, working first for the University of Alberta and then moving to Calgary in 1989 to work for KARO Design Resources. Cindy started Quest Design in 1998 and also taught second year design classes as a sessional instructor at the Alberta College of Art and Design from 2000 to 2004.
A decision in 2006 to explore a long buried desire to paint and pursue her own artwork has led her along a new creative path and resulted in a rich body of work informed by her design background, strong sense of composition and love of nature.
Cindy has focused primarily on interpreting the natural world while reflecting on the spaces “in between” and working toward conveying a sense of that which is unseen. Inspiration comes in moments of quiet reflection, in watching the play of light, translating the shapes and patterns created in its path. Her desire is to bring viewers into a shared experience, to convey the feeling of a place or the richness of the moment.
