Cynthia Tumpach

I was introduced to oil painting in high School and loved the medium ever since. After an art major in college, I continued my oil painting studies with John Gordon, Ken De waard, Bonnita Budyz, Diane Rath, Craig Blietz, and Shelby Keefe, to name a few.

My focus has always been in painting landscapes. I especially marvel at nature's wildflowers, pathways, and tree shapes. Interpretive realism is my style, working in my studio with digital images, or outdoors doing plein air.

I try to evoke a feeling of pleasure, serenity, or beauty in all my artwork. I am communicating a particular moment in place to the viewer in a matter that is appealing and uplifting.

I have enjoyed teaching the love of oil painting for NWTC in the Continuing Education Program for 25 years. I retired from that position in 2013. My career in landscape oil painting has continued on, exhibiting in a variety of juried shows, and galleries. I live and paint from my home studio in Green Bay, WI.
