Cynthia Packard - United States

Art Brokerage: Cynthia Packard American Artist: b. 1957. Cynthia Packard (b. 1957) has been artistic since childhood. From hanging batiks at sidewalk shows with her mother to creating mixed media paintings on a variety of subjects. After graduating from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1981 with an MFA in sculpture, Packard elected to move to Provincetown where her family's artistic lineage began. Her great grandfather, Max Bohm (Gold Medalist of the Paris Salon in 1898) is credited as an original founder of Provincetown's establishment as an artist's colony. Her mother, Anne Packard, is a world-renowned landscape painter and was a very important part of her decision to live there and paint. Packard modeled for the late Fritz Bultman and eventually became his sole student. It was during her twice-weekly studies with Bultman that she learned the Hofmann method of drawing, which she describes as almost scientific in nature. The founding editor of Provincetown Arts Magazine, Chris Busa, observed that Packard has an innate understanding of the importance of the removal of lines, revision of gesture and the radical use of the reorientation of geometry.
