At Living Resources, we believe that every individual has a unique voice. For many, that voice is best expressed through a paintbrush or a colored pencil. Today, we are thrilled to feature Cindy, a dedicated artist in our Art Program whose vibrant spirit is as colorful as her artwork.

Cindy is a familiar face around the studio, joining us every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Her commitment to her craft is evident, but her creativity doesn’t stop at the art table. Cindy also participates in the Living Resources Day Program on Tuesdays and Thursdays, staying active and engaged with her community throughout the week.

When asked how art makes her feel, Cindy’s answer is simple yet powerful: “I’m happy I’m doing art. I like art class.” That joy is woven into every piece she creates. Cindy doesn’t limit herself to just one style. She loves to experiment with different tools to bring her visions to life, frequently using colored pencils, markers, and paint.

Cindy’s progress is something she takes great pride in. Since joining Living Resources, she has noticed a significant increase in her independence, proudly stating that she now does “a lot of stuff myself.”

Her hard work has led to an exciting milestone: two of her original pieces are currently for sale at our Artfully Unique gallery! One of these featured works is

a stunning depiction of an angel with vibrant pink wings, a piece that was previously showcased in an art show. Her second piece, a landscape, was created some time ago, but remains a personal favorite of hers.

You can see Cindy’s work, and the work of many other talented individuals, at our gallery located at 2005 Western Ave, Albany, NY. Every

purchase directly supports the artists and helps us continue providing a creative outlet for the individuals we support.
