Hi, I'm Cynthia Palmer
I've lived in Annapolis Maryland for several years. Although I make the occasional private sale, I’m most interested in using painting to give back to Annapolis and other communities by donating watercolors and pastels to nonprofit organizations for fundraising events. Proceeds are used to support those in need, protect the environment, promote safe boating, and other causes. In the last 6 years I have donated over 100 paintings to support various causes (see “Contact” for donation recipients).
After retirement in 2011, I began to paint and found that for me, watercolor and pastel are the best media to use, especially while traveling. Travels have included camping in the magnificent parks of North America, international travel, and extensive cruising with my husband on the east and west coasts of the US, Canada and in the Bahamas. We have lived aboard for months at a time, sailing from Maine to Florida, in the Pacific Northwest and through the many islands of the Bahamas. Painting never fails to make me more keenly aware and appreciative of both new and well-known surroundings.
