Meet Cynthia
Hello everyone! I’m Cynthia Maynard and thanks so much for coming to my website! I’m a teacher, author and artist. I love all things creative!
My degree is in Education, History, English and British Literature, so my writing and art tend to reflect those interests. My YouTube channel has over 1,500 art and cooking videos! I paint in oil pastels, watercolor, colored pencils, inks, gouache, and digitally. I LOVE surface pattern design and sell my patterns at Spoonflower and Raspberry Creek fabrics.
Like myself, my brand is always growing. As I learn, I love to pass that along to others. I love to create and use life as an inspiration. I’ve had the privilege of helping others become more confident in the kitchen and take their flavors to the next level. I have cooked more than 5,000 different recipes in addition to my own. Thankfully, my family will eat anything!
In addition to my work, I love sharing thoughts and encouragement, fun projects, book and product reviews, and life updates. Having Stage IV Endometriosis, I know first-hand the challenges that come from it and love to encourage others in their journey with health. Having grown up on a horse farm, I love to support local farmers and companies that treat their livestock well.
Some things that I love: books, castles, museums, fabric, gnomes, music, gyros, chocolate, board and video games, beautiful clothes, English gardens, swords, my husband, my children, jewelry, mummies, old book stores, mysteries, the moon, autumn and the Lord!
Thanks for stopping by!
