"Fascinated with moments when I catch a glimpse of the subtle nuances of the human face and form— it’s emotion, introspection, and honesty—I realize that we are all connected in some way."

Cynthia Feustel
Cynthia Feustel is an oil painter primarily known for her portrait and figurative work. Whether capturing an introspective moment of a figure or the quiet stillness in an arrangement of treasured objects, the subjects in her paintings are sensitively rendered inviting viewers into the narratives she portrays. Having been a traditional portrait artist for 25 years, her attention to detail is evident. Adhering to the time-honored method of building up multiple layers of paint over an initial underpainting, her work merges the classical tradition of oil painting with images that reveal a fresh, contemporary expression.
Feustel worked full time as a commissioned portrait artist from 1999 until 2009 . She also maintained a large factory loft studio in Pennsylvania where she taught classes and workshops year–round. Feustel and her husband moved from Pennsylvania to Colorado in 2009. The move kicked off a journey to define herself and her work.
Feustel’s attention to light, color, and composition paired with emotionally evocative moods has garnered her work significant awards. She holds Master Signature status in American Women Artists, is a Signature member in National Oil & Acrylic Painters' Society and Oil Painters of America; along with juried memberships in International Guild of Realism and Women Artists of the West. Her work has been featured in national art publications and exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States.
