The 25th annual ArtWalk is finally here! This year, Cynthia will have paintings of her kisses available as well as new pieces from her modern farm collection. In her new collection, Colis gives larger-than-life farm animals a modern twist. They gaze out of their canvases with different expressions of content. One animal with a major presence in Cynthia's modern farm collection is the cow. In some cultures, the cow is a sacred symbol representing fertility, nourishment, and motherhood. For Colis, her cows also represent contentment, happiness, and bliss. They encourage her maxim that wherever fate takes her, she will endeavor to be satisfied. What pastoral secrets of life do these revered animals have to share with you? Find out this weekend in the streets of Little Italy at San Diego's 25th annual ArtWalk on April 25th and 26th from noon to 6:00 p.m. Cynthia will be in booths 302 and 303 at Cedar Street between India and Kettner.

Seven of San Diego's most celebrated artists come together to explore, through their art, the feeling of an Uplifted Vibration. Vibrations are all around us, every day - in our different thoughts, our emotions and even the actions we take. They can either lift us up or bring us down. Spend December 6th, at the Pecoff Gallery in Little Italy surrounded by Uplifting Vibrations.]]>http://www.cynthiacolis.com/past-exhibitions/2008/11/20/bailey-gallery-los-angeles-dec-11-2008.htmlcynthia2008-11-20T07:31:00Z2008-11-20T07:31:00ZDOWN ON THE FARM

Round up for the opening reception of Down on the Farm during Los Angeles’s Downtown Art Walk. Cynthia Colis’s modern portraits of brightly-colored, larger-than-life farm animals against bold backgrounds exude the comfort of a home-cooked meal with a modern twist. And don’t forget, that down on the farm, there's always a dog or two. Colis masters man’s best friend with a pop of color, as well. You can bet your last piece of warm rhubarb pie that this show will please. Are you more than a little intrigued?

Instantly disarming, fun loving, and affectionate, Cynthia Colis woos audiences with paintings that feature young women with pouting lips poised for kisses. "I feel that there has been so many paintings out there that are scary or dark," Colis explains. "I want to put out there something a little more positive." There is an endearing quality in each painting found in the innocent expectation of reciprocal affection from the viewer. Her exquisite brushwork and painterly modeling of flesh tones adds to the air of exuberance and joy in the work, focused around the full red lips of each woman.

Born in Vietnam and raised in the Philippines and Louisiana, Colis learned to appreciate art early in her youth from watching her father paint at night. She received her BA from the University of Southwest Louisiana before moving to California to pursue her goal of being a full-time artist. Colis lives and works in San Diego.]]>http://www.cynthiacolis.com/past-exhibitions/2008/3/18/patrick-moore-gallery-san-diego.htmlcynthia2008-03-18T22:23:11Z2008-03-18T22:23:11Zsan diego, ca 92101
