Cynthia’s creative journey began when she picked up illustration during the quiet of the COVID-19 pandemic — discovering a new passion that soon grew into a second career. Her artwork has since been featured at the Worcester Art Museum and the Briarwood Gallery, and she frequently delights local audiences with readings of her stories at bookstores, libraries, and schools. Her next book, POOR FARM MEADOW, a Sleepy Hollow-meets-Jurassic-Park ghost story, will be available in 2026. For her, creating “little books” is a joy — "It's how I connect with the beautiful wonder of a child's mind."Cynthia continues to write and illustrate from her home in Massachusetts — crafting stories that spark curiosity, nurture empathy, and help kids feel ready for life’s big milestones.
