About the Artist

Cindy Britan is an award winning sculptor based in rural Boulder County, CO. Britan Studios was created in 2018 when Cindy closed her play therapy practice to become a full time sculptor. Her piece, The Unknown was born out of this transition. Typical of Cindy’s sculptures, her pieces embody an uncanny, symbolic and metaphorical theme pairing the familiar with the unfamiliar. Her inspiration comes from her life experiences, both personally and professionally. Most of her pieces are an attempt to convey a visual psychological connection between the conscious and the unconscious. Cindy has described her objective as a chance to connect and engage the viewer’s curiosity, and spark a conversation. She maintains that sculpting is therapy for both the maker and the viewer. She feels that it is an important task as individuals that we engage with what disturbs us, as well as, with what delights us. Examining why a piece disturbs us may provide more important keys to discovering, and unlocking answers to our own lives. Cindy strives to produce pieces that are expressive, and places great importance to the rendering of the eyes, as they are as Shakespeare noted, …”the windows to the soul”.
