Hi everyone!

Let me introduce myself for those who don't know me already :

My name is Cynthia (aka Cyn) and I am a Swiss artist and a tea addict who've been living in India since 2003. I currently live in Mumbai with my husband, daughter, cat and dog.

I've been an artist all my life. Early records indicate that nothing stopped me from scribbling my bedroom wallpaper from the age of 3 onward. My parents tried everything to make we stop turning into a crazy degenerated, free spirited mural painted artist. They took my markers away, along with the crayons, but true artists always find a way, so I started gluing paper to the wall, which led to them taking those away too.
I ended up taking my mom's make up to continue doing my masterpiece...this is probably when my mom realised that it was probably safer to give me access to plenty of paper and supervised arts and craft sessions.

I spent my childhood and teen years doodling, at home, and in school and even gave art major in high school a try (I hated it) before dropping out and training as an interior decorator.

Then I moved to India for love, continued creating art here and there, I dabbled in digital art when the "cartoon dolls" were a thing circa 2004. I also tried to do all kind of "respectable things" like working in a call center, and freelancing as a French translator (because yes I speak French...fancy huh?)

It only a few years ago I got this nagging feeling, that maybe I should stop kidding around and do more art, and turn it into a career.
After more doubts, and fear of putting myself out there, I decided to cross that bridge in 2017, signed up on Society6 to start selling my art, then Redbubble and a few other lesser known PoD in India (most went bankrupt).
In 2019 I gave Etsy a go, and started selling stickers, cards and a nifty little "To-Do notepad" designed by me.

So I decided that 2020 will be the year of me getting on Patreon, and continue dabbling in all kind of art, including spending a lot of time trying new things on my iPad with Procreate.

This is where you guys become part of my journey, get to see what I'm up to, take a peak in my sketch books, work in progress, and life as I call it.
