Cynthia McKean

Cynthia McKean is a Saugatuck resident who grew up out West, where she earned a degree in biology and later, architecture. Unable for financial reasons to complete the internship required for aspiring architects, she joined industry for the next fifteen plus years.

She says, "Working for a factory proved to be a whole new experience. There aren't any factories in all of those wide-open spaces of my youth. As fate would have it the factory into which I was pouring my life had this wonderful, special place called "the weld shop". At last in the early 1990's I had no choice but to go to the local vocational/tech center and start welding. And that's what I've been doing ever since.

Cynthia McKean is a Saugatuck resident. She has three pieces in this year's exhibit.

She says: "The work is purely abstract. It is a study in the interaction of positive and negative space using open squares. Typically I do not name my abstract work. Viewers often see something very different than what I had in mind when I made it. I don't want to bias their reception or the pleasure they may derive by figuring out for themselves what they think it represents."

Cynthia McKean's work can be seen at the Button Gallery in Douglas.
