Cindy Martin
I’m a mixed media collage artist based in Northern Colorado. With a background in English literature, I’m drawn to the ways images, like words, can suggest stories and stir emotion.
I work with a variety of media, along with vintage and contemporary papers, photographs, and found materials. I love the way unexpected combinations can reveal something I wasn’t consciously looking for. In that sense, I create art like a diary—a place to notice what surfaces, what I’ve forgotten, what I might be hiding, and what I’m still trying to understand.
I rarely begin with a fixed idea. I follow instinct, make choices, change direction, and see where the work takes me. What I’m after is an emotional outcome—something that feels true to me, even if I can’t quite explain why.
