About Me

I'M CINDY SAADEH

Thanks for stopping in... I'm an oil painter who got my start as an apprentice under a self-taught French artist Richard Palomino. In Montpellier, France I was classically trained by him in making paint, mediums, brushes and painting in a layering style based on Old Master techniques. I'm originally from Winston-Salem, NC and graduated from UNC Chapel Hill. I have extensive experience teaching private and group classes en plein air as well as studio/still life subjects. I've organized multiple workshops for visiting artists., as well as attended a number of them to inspire the evolution of my own work.

I've found my voice in a more painterly style than originally taught, but I still maintain the importance of learning classically as a good foundation.

I recently owned a premier art gallery in Kingsport, TN for close to 13 years, bringing a wide range of artists of all mediums ​into the Tri-Cities area community. I have been humbly honored with a YWCA Tribute to Women award as well as KOSBE Small Business award for Woman owned business.

My work is featured in public and private collections in the US and internationally. I give 10% of sales to Ocean Cleanup--you can feel good about your purchase!

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.


Inspiration

I'm inspired by the beauty of the world and the way the light plays on the environment. I love to travel and am inspired by capturing not only the landscape of an area, but the culture and people as well. I'll never run out of subjects for paintings!

Career Highlights

My first of many exhibits was in Montpellier, France, where I was trained. I've shown and sold in a number of galleries. I co-founded I'On art group in Charleston, SC and have helped initiate and manage several art festivals and events over the years, both in Charleston and Kingsport.  I was a lead artist on a local carousel project, where I contributed as well as assisted artists in painting the rounding boards on the top.  My most proud accomplishment is owning an art gallery for 13 years, showcasing many regional artists, a number of which had never exhibited before. I loved being able to provide the community with such incredible talent.

Ocean Cleanup

I love to dive. There's nothing like being down in the peaceful world with just the flora and fauna of the sea, In the hope we can save the oceans,  I have decided to give 10% of sales of my work to The Ocean Cleanup--they work daily to rid the world's oceans of plastic. Feel good about your purchase!
