“Cynthia Underwood's Artist Spotlight is a unique opportunity to get my work out to a receptive and enthusiastic audience. The Spotlight has an EDGE - Cynthia is supportive of the art - but also encourages the process that involves life choices made by each individual artist. In that sense, this is both a worthwhile and essential venue.”

Tom Schulz

“There is hardly any experience for an artist that can compare to being a part of the community that Cynthia is creating. The life of an artist can be difficult and this is where Artist Spotlight comes in handy. By simply letting your soul be heard through your artist statement and your work in the Artist Spotlight, you open yourself up to s new world that will help you grow as an artist. Ever since I was featured in the Artist Spotlight #9, more members of the artist community have noticed me and my work. It's been so helpful receiving their comments and being able to talk about my work. Thank you Cynthia”
