I relate very srongly to the facial emotions of the American Indian. Your photos make their emotion come alive in their faces. You make history personal.

Hi, Gary, Thank you for looking at my work. The backgrounds are part of the painting. The works are a discussion of sorts about opposites - open vs. closed (boxed). . . A narrative of my life at the moment. I hope to create some question and perhaps a little intrique. And yes, I am in Glendale, AZ - not too far from Tucson. You could check out my blog when you have time - different paintings - www.CyndyCarstens.blogspot.com   Hope to hear from you again soon. And thanks again.

Just wanted to acknowledge your photopolymer print in the new Art Calendar magazine. Looks pretty fine. Congrats.   -Brent

Hey Gary in Arizona, you're up early...you should see that painting up close...photos just do not show the detail!  the white flowers have a crackled porcelan finish ....it's pretty cool.  hehe

thank you for your kind word. Looking at your accomplishments, your compliments are extremely meaningful to me. You seem to be a well rounded individual based on your previous occupations. I wish you the best!
