Cynthia Rowland graduated from Texas Tech University with a Graphic and Fine Art degree. She spent a dozen years in New York, where she founded a graphic design business. In 1993, she returned to New Mexico to pursue sculpture in cast bronze. Her commitment developed into both public and private commissioned works. By 2005, she had completed over 40 projects, including several large-scale sculptures, such as the award-winning Senator Dennis Chavez Memorial at Civic Plaza in Albuquerque, NM. Turning to painting, she developed a unique style and metaphor through close observation of her motifs - flowers, still-life, portraits, and figures. She has participated in several competitions, exhibitions, and galleries in Santa Fe and has exhibited in several museums in the US. Her work is in the collection of the Albuquerque Museum of Art. She has been instrumental in bringing the historic New Mexico Art League back to prominence. She has also served as the State Ambassador for the Portrait Society of America for five years.

​"I enjoy the dual aspect of painting: combining a graphic sense of the two-dimensional plane with a three-dimensional illusion. Coming from a graphic design and sculpture background, I enjoy sculpting with paint, leaving the marks and the descriptions of the brushstrokes I am making. I am striving to understand better and communicate to the viewer what I observe: the space and shape of the canvas's surface and the space and form around the object in my painting."
