Art is the mirror of who we are and what we would like to become…

Cynthia Chartier first started working as the Scenic Artist and Property Mistress for the Royal Poinciana Playhouse and then went on to Burt Reynolds Dinner Theatre in Florida.  

After that she opened her own business as a freelance Trompe l’oeil Artist primarily painting murals for interior designers’ residential homes in Palm Beach.  Then after working in several different creative fields to find her niche she started traveling to find other possible opportunities in the art world before she finally settled in Dallas. 

Now she’s exhibiting, being represented by various galleries and doing art shows across the country as well as holding painting workshops in her studio, hosting Corporate Team Building Events and giving Private Lessons.   For more information please visit: www.colorlightpaint.com
