I am very pleased to introduce Cindy Obuck. She is an exciting
young artist who is rapidly making a name for herself in her home
province of Saskatchewan. The influence of her surroundings is
often apparent in the colours and materials she uses. She is a
graphic artist and web designer by profession. Though she is a
self-taught fibre artist, her design training informs her work.
|
Cindy experiments with many materials but regardless of the
medium, her work seems to maintain an earthy groundedness. I
expect we will see much more of her work in the future. I hope
you will enjoy looking at the work of my friend, Cindy Obuck.

Cindy Obuck- Artist statement:
I have always had an interest in art, however it wasn’t
until I discovered fibre art that I decided to follow my passion.
I have a certificate in graphic design and work full time as
a graphic/web designer. I am a self taught artist, but feel
my work experience has helped me in designing my own art.
I enjoy using various materials in my art such as organza, cheese
cloth, papers, chiffons, yarns and beads. I also enjoy painting
my own fabrics or using wax and pencil crayons to emphasize
various designs. This year, I have also been exploring felting
and chenille techniques.
While I have taken workshops from a couple of well established
artists, the majority of my work has evolved by self exploration
with abstract compositions. I take great pleasure in seeing
the various textures and fibres evolve from an idea into a piece
of art.

Various yarns were used in the felting process as well.
It is embellished with beads and hangs freely on its background.
