Cindy Wright
Cindy Wright is a printmaker and oceanographic scientist living on Vancouver Island. She is primarily self-taught but has been mentored over the last 20 years by well-known printmakers in the technical skills of planographic and intaglio methods. She has a 25+ year history working as a marine scientist, from intertidal to abyssal plains of the Northeast Pacific. Her passion for marine life, its beauty and its perfection of form led her to take traditional printmaking techniques and apply new materials to continue the long tradition of nature printing.
