Art from Within If you love color and brights, my site is for you. My work is often described as 'very colorful' to 'really loud.' And I like it that way.
I enjoy dyeing, discharging, printing, stamping, drawing & painting of fabric. I also like to embellish, often with unusual items like metal washers or tea bag labels. What ever seems appropriate to the piece. And I am never quite sure when to say when.
Although I started college as an Art Major, I got married and started a family and never finished my degree. I ended up with a career as a bookkeeper before ending up working in a Library. Along the way I never gave up my love of art, and even taught and coordinated a parent run art program at my sons school.
Now as a single mom with a full-time job, I have to make sure that I carve out time for me to make art, which can be very difficult. Fortunately I am blessed with having very understanding children, and they allow me time and space to work. The animals are not always as understand, but usually if I play with them for five or ten minutes they let me work.
Hope you enjoy the art and musings...

A glimpse into the creative life of artist Cynthia Wenslow.
I work in several media, including art quilts, mixed media collage, digital and film photography, and watercolor and acrylic painting. In fact, I find myself learning and incorporating new techniques in all these media. Ultimately, what matters most to me is the process. Once a piece is finished and I have learned what I needed to from it, I am quite happy to sell it and have it go to a new home!
I try to keep my blog mainly about art in general, and my art in particular. Subjects that I cover on my blog include: creative process; studio design and set-up; thoughts on art; calls for entries; exhibitions that I may enter or am considering entering; publication and acceptance notices; fundraisers that I donate artwork to; and many others!
My main website, to which the blog is attached, showcases a variety of my work in all the media in which I work. The content is listed by medium as I think it makes the most sense that way. Many people interested in art quilts, for example, are not really interested in photography.
I hope you enjoy my blog and stop by frequently to see what I'm up to!
