About the Artist
Cindy Syme is a ceramic artist who has worked with clay on the wheel for over thirty years. She uses her work as a three-dimensional expression of the natural world around her. Cindy’s artwork themes come from a combined interest in the Culinary and the Botanical. Ishe is also a professional cook and a passionate gardener. She brings these influences into every piece she creates.
It is no accident that Cindy’s artwork takes inspiration from the Earth both figuratively and literally as her medium is of the earth. She uses porcelain or stoneware to create pieces that reflect that beauty. Trees, shadow, and light breaking between leaves and the unexpected shape of a landscape influence aspects of her pottery.
“I like to capture that moment of our experiences with nature, to make a tangible and permanent work that reminds us on a daily basis that we are always in the natural world. It can be a bowl from my Botanical series filled with soup, a covered vessel tucked in a quiet place in a home or a stoneware vase filled with flowers from a meadow that blur the line between the exterior and interior.”
