Welcome to Creative Explorations with Cynthia — a place for creative exploration, relaxation and quieting the mind.
These are calm, open-ended art sessions for when you need to slow down, clear your head, or just make something without overthinking it. I mostly work in watercolor, but I also like to explore other mediums. However, no matter what materials I use, it isn’t about technique or getting it “right,” it’s about showing up, exploring, and letting things unfold. You’re welcome to participate, or simply watch and rest for a few minutes.
I’m Cynthia — a lifelong creative explorer, learning (still) how to use art as a way to unwind and reconnect. I go live most Wednesdays at 1 pm ET (usually watercolor), and Saturdays at 2 pm ET where I often explore other mediums.
If you’d like a simple place to start, I created a 5-Minute Calm Brushstrokes practice you can return to anytime:

Thwarted plans! Today I can’t be here to do my livestream at 1 pm ET but will attempt (!) to be here at 3 pm instead. I appreciate your interest and attention, I hope to see you here later! 💗✨💫🤩 (and yes… my alma mater: NCAA champs!)

When I announced my livestream for tomorrow I forgot that it’s spring break and I’m taking my granddaughter to the fabulous Henry Ford Museum! So instead of a livestream at 1:00 pm EST on April 1, I’ll be doing it sometime between 3-4 pm EST. And that’s no April fool in’! 😊 I hope you can join me then!

My dog JJ likes to keep me company in the studio. She loves working over her bone while I’m doing livestreams. So here she is since you’ve heard her but couldn’t see her!

I thought I would do a live stream at 1 PM today but because LIFE! happens, I’ll be back Wednesday with the next live stream. I hope you have a great day.🥰

Thank you to all of you who stopped by my live open studio today. Here’s the final result after the painting dried. New video (the last episode for now) of my Drawn By Words series will drop tomorrow mid-day. If you enjoyed this, I’d love for you to check it out! 🥰

I tried my very first livestream today and although the orientation of the video was not as I intended, all in all I think it was a success! I hope you'll check out the replay if you missed it. Here's the final result of the painting session.

I've been busy working on a new series of storytelling/art that will launch tomorrow, called Drawn By Words. I've also spent quite a bit of time re-branding my channel look to match my calming vibe. I hope you'll join me to check out the new look and watch the series!
