Meet Cynthia Hendrickson in Canvas Rebel

Archway Gallery shows the work of three talented jewelry artists: Cynthia Hendrickson, Vanessa Parker, and Mary Rogers. Recently Cynthia Hendrickson was featured in Canvas Rebel.  Here is some of what she said of her work: "Never give up. Life is a process involving growth. I began metalsmithing at the age of 15, but life got in the way, as it often does. Sixteen years ago, I re-entered the jewelry world, creating primarily beaded pieces. Over time, I relearned metalsmithing techniques and began my current journey. 

The easiest way to gain exposure is through juried art shows. This involves having your work professionally photographed, including a photo of the booth setup. Top art shows are extremely competitive (particularly in the jewelry category) making entry as a new artist challenging. It took many years of rejections before I garnered a place in the top shows. I remain dedicated to improving my craft and those acceptances are the reward.
