Cyndi Kaye Meier
Artist Meet and Greet
Sunday, February 16, 2025
After each service (10am/Noon)
Artist Statement:
Cyndi Kaye Meier is inspired by the colors and beauty found in nature. Life is filled with certainty and the unknown. After years of feeling weighted down from the pandemic, Meier wanted more color and joy to express the wonders of the world. Her textile and paintings use color, pattern, expressive paint strokes to evoke this sense of joy and wonder in our world. Meier’s art is her attempt to create a visual escape for these trying times.
For the past two decades Cyndi Kaye has been immersed in the quilting tradition. She pushes the boundaries of contemporary quilting by screen printing, painting and dyeing her own fabrics. During the past several years, Meier expanded her practice to include abstract painting on wood and canvas. Painting has given the artist another way to express emotions and narrative stories. For example, in Daydreaming, Meier captures the feelings of sitting and daydreaming in her childhood church and watching the light bounce off the stained glass windows.
In the past year and half, Meier has been writing her autobiography under the mentorship of Mimi Holmes. The writing process builds on the artist’s understanding of how are family’s past influences who we are and the lessons ancestors can teach us.
