Cynthia Steward

Simpsonville, SC

Cynthia Steward started her creative journey started when she was young and enjoyed taking art courses in high school, where she was influenced and encouraged by her teachers. Later she studied watercolor painting and drawing from notable artists along with attending mixed-media, surface design and other workshops to learn and develop new skills.



With a background in sewing, Cynthia began quilting and quickly progressed to designing her own quilts and then ultimately discovered the wonderful synergy of art quilting, which allows her the freedom to incorporate traditional and non-tradition quilting techniques and surface design to create art with tactile and visual texture.



An engineering background and extensive travel, including the opportunity to live in several different regions of the United States, have influenced and informed Cynthia’s artistic expression which is inspired by the beauty of our landscapes and the elegant mathematical relationships which occur in nature.
