Cynthia Ruffin Simon, a painter and sculptor born in New York, draws from a lifelong engagement with creative expression, from performance to athletics. She employs impressionistic techniques with both landscapes and large-scale abstracts, relishing the physicality of color and gesture, while also capturing the essence of people beyond mere likeness. Her art radiates with raw, authentic emotion—love, joy, pleasure, but also the shadows of hate, sadness, and misery—inviting viewers to experience the full, vibrant spectrum of human feeling.
