Cynthia Lewis decided to specialise in sculpture, modelling and carving in wood and stone, and a turning point came about 10 years ago, when she discovered the joy of modelling in wax.
Cynthia Lewis was also developing and refining the necessary skills to model first animals and then birds. To transfer the beauty and strength she can see, whilst simultaneously trying to capture their essential nature, energy and fluidity together with a feeling of movement, into a static three-dimensional form.

A-Level in Art and a Diploma in Art and Design.
Cynthia Lewis was brought up to appreciate all the different arts and love of creative expression. Since my school days, over 60 years ago, I have liked to draw and paint and my skills developed, so that, when needed, I was able to help my three sons with their art homework.
When time became more available, I embarked on a path of more formal training. First, through evening classes, then a full-time foundation followed by a college course, with classes in sculpture, and drawing and painting in various media. On the way, I gained an A-Level in Art and a Diploma in Art and Design.
Later, when I went to the Institute, I continued my training in sculpture as well as in other media. After about 5 years, I decided to specialise in sculpture.
I continued to study at The Institute as there is always more for me to learn, and because I love every minute of it. And, I feel particularly proud that my work was recognised by an invitation in April 2007, to become an Associate Member of the Society of Women Artists.
