Cyndy Carstens was awarded a summer scholarship to the highly regarded Art Institute of Minneapolis at the age of 6—an experience that inspired her to pursue a career as an artist.
Since that youthful initiation, she has worked in a variety of mediums, including oil, graphite, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. Her current main focus is on the colors of light reflected and/or refracted in the atmosphere and landscape.
Carstens' paintings are in private collections across America and 8 countries around the world. Carstens work is in a number of corporate collections including Intel Corporation, Bank of America, Gray Manufacturing, Inc. and Banner Alzheimer's Institute & Consortium, among others. She has also been featured in newspaper and magazine articles over the years, including Southwest Art, American Art Collector, Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine, Foothills Magazine and The Arizona Republic. Cyndy Carstens and her husband live in Phoenix, Arizona.
