The Alembika Team Cindy Kane, born in 1957, has used multi media to explore her lifelong fascination with politics and nature.
Growing up in Washington, D.C., Cindy Kane was shaped by the powerful political climate of the Vietnam War era. A self-taught artist, the young Cindy lived and worked at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she documented Anasazi Indian pictographs in pen and ink drawings – images which would inform her art for years to come.
Cindy Kane draws on personal narrative and experience to create her paintings of maps, birds, toys, and artifacts from nature. Her work encompasses a broad range of themes, from the extinction of birds to the role of journalists reporting from war zones.
“Kane leads us into a peculiar netherworld, a hard to place area that’s both reassuringly ancient, and anxiously modern (…)”

“Stripes” by Cindy Kane for ALEMBIKA FW21
Cindy has exhibited her work nationally in galleries and museums since 1986, and her paintings can be found in a number of private and public collections, including the U.S. Embassies in Tijuana, Mexico, and in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. She lives on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
“(…) This is a painter who is interested in the unconscious and the archetypal, and utilizes her own private, (but not inaccessible) vocabulary and imagery.”
Author and critic John Loughery,
Arts magazine.
Cindy Kane was inspired by the UD521S – coming soon.
