“I lean toward subject matter that I can make

soft and reinterpret my way—like mountains,

rivers and marshes.”

SOFT REINTERPRETATIONS BY CHARLOTTE RUSSELL

Cary-based artist Cindy Cave uses chalk pastels to capture soft and atmospheric landscapes. Starting with a black and white underdrawing, Cave then mixes her own colors on paper using color theory and method she learned from studying fine at at Meredith College, and while studying abroad in Paris, France and Florence, Italy. She is drawn to elements in the landscape like the Milky Way, low country tides, or vibrant sunsets that act as a gateway to something romantic and ethereal. Her impressions of nature depict places for which she has a personal affection, like West Virginia and South Carolina’s low country.

Born in Williamsburg, Virginia, and raised in Orange, California, Cave knew she would be an artist from a young age. In addition to working in chalk pastel, she also is a muralist and oil painter, and is the co-owner of Adam Cave Fine Art and the Adam Cave Collection. View her work online at adamcavefineart.com.
