Statement on the Artist
Cindy Hickok uses the sewing machine as a freehand paintbrush to render amazingly precise and humorous images.  She ingeniously borrows from the Masters to guide the viewer through an entertaining tour of art history.  Her abilities are second to none while her sense of humor thoroughly enhances the experience of each piece.  The Masterpiece is truly redefined by her needle and thread.

Cindy says, “The needle is my paintbrush; thread is my medium; the sewing machine an extension of my arm.  My journal is my constant companion.  I record images, quotations, ideas and news commentary.  With tongue firmly in cheek, I incorporate many of these in my artwork, women’s issue being among my favorite topics.
