Background

Her creative journey began as a teen and studied photography at the School of Modern Photography and landed an internship at Hudson Daily Sun learning graphic design and publishing. Cyn co-owned a print shop for several years then launched Cynergie Studio, now her creative hub for all things art, film, and self-publishing.

She studied interior design at American Intercontinental University where she rekindled her passion for painting and the connection between art and space. Her prior photography, printing education blended perfectly with her need to create artwork with a purpose. Learn more about Cyn’s background and how she got to where she is now.

Inspiration and beyond

Cyn believes that every mark a person makes is important. To reinforce this idea with young minds she founded Sun & Moon Studio, a studio for kids to explore creativity, get messy and create art. As an extension of this idea, she was honored to provide a platform for artists to talk about their ideas and art as the Raleigh city organizer for PechaKucha Night for seven years. Her creative exploration extends into filmmaking where she provides creative direction and assistance to produce award-winning short films. In January 2020, yep during the pandemic, she launched an e-commerce business featuring her art applied to ethically made fashion and decor products.

Commitment to causes

Art By Women Project

She is an advocate for women artists. Her project, Art By Women Project (follow on Instagram) features emerging women artists giving them a boost of encouragement and visibility. All women artists are encouraged to reach out. There is no fee, only a virtual handshake agreement to pay it forward to another women artist.

Kind Healthy Life

While climate change is a natural thing our planet does over time (of which we have little control over) contributing to the acceleration of climate change is something we do have a lot of control over. A big part of saving our planet depends on us all taking whatever responsibility we can to better our environment for ourselves, our families, and those who will come after us when we are long gone. Cyn is mindful about not contributing to animal suffering specifically in factory farming environments. She co-founded a company where she writes about the benefits of a kind healthy life.

Charity Water

One of Cyn’s global passion is accessible, safe drinking water for all communities. In 2017 she helped to drill a well in Malawi, Africa that services 246 beneficiaries.
