March 8th Program
Cindy Rinne
“Solitude - Where Ideas Begin
Cindy Rinne has created fine art for over 25 years. She started creating fiber poetry over twelve years ago. She draws with thread, paints, stamps, burns or bleaches fabric. Cindy writes original poetry which often appears as a part of the art work. Her work emphasizes using fiber as collage with embellishment. She enjoys using vintage fabrics, laces, buttons and Japanese fabrics among other textures.
Cindy has exhibited internationally. She was a guest speaker at the University of Redlands and had a two-person show there in winter 2008. Cindy exhibited in “Material Girls” at the Riverside Art Museum which included a catalog. She’s had solo shows at the Wignall Museum/Gallery at Chaffey College, at New Pieces in Berkeley and at Soft Expressions in Anaheim. Cindy’s works have been featured in the San Bernardino Sun, Redlands Daily Facts, Riverside Press Enterprise, Los Angeles Times, Art/Quilt Magazine and “Sew Somerset” magazine.
Currently Cindy is the managing curator for SAQA@20:Art & Excellence. This international 20th Anniversary show for the Studio Art Quilts Associates that premiered in Houston in 2009 and will also be in Long Beach in July 2010. Cindy had art work in the TAGS exhibit in Taiwan and the national exhibition, “like Water on Rock” (a traveling show) in Los Angeles in 2009. Both of these shows included catalogs.
