Artist Statement
Cynthia Hibbard, a Shift member since 2013, is a multi-discipline artist with an emphasis on the abstract in painting and printmaking. She’s drawn to random views of the natural world, industrial landscapes, repurposed art and odd discoveries from her travels. Her work often seeks to weave found incongruities into relationships, patterning, narrative and surprise. Hibbard tends to work in small series and to build them into shows that are loosely connected in theme. With a background as a writer, she inclines towards constant re-working, editing and changing her story lines.
