Cynthia O’Connor – Artist Statement

I'm passionate about everything I do, and I've always sought to convert my talents into something beneficial to others. All around me, things call to me deeply. Some bring me joy, others tug at my heart, and still others render me speechless. I need to look inside and find the soul of what or whom is before me. What catches my eye is embedded, the beauty, irony, humor, or the melancholy. I must capture it, understand it, and share it, that feeling... that moment.

My camera is always with me, and I endeavor to capture not just what I see but what I experience from what I see. I hope my vision brings a meaningful connection to all who see my work, to what surrounds us all, and what we all have deep inside us.
