My name is Cindy Oliver, & I live in Lawrence, KS, which has a vibrant and supportive art community. My wire art is made freehand, without the use of patterns, and is crimped, not soldered. Much of the time I begin with a general idea and follow the line to unexpected places, and sometimes I will use a picture or model for reference. Playing with jewelry wire on a long car trip several years ago sparked my interest, then my dogs became live models to practice on at home. Friends at the Lawrence Art Guild encouraged me to enter pieces in shows at the 1109 Gallery, and I've enjoyed being a part of the art community ever since.

I've been the monthly featured artist at several local venues in the last 5 years: Z's Cafe, the 1109 Gallery, Theatre Lawrence, Kansas Public Radio, Alchemy Coffee & Bake House, Aimee's Cafe, and in the Phoenix Gallery. I've had pet-related pieces at Lucky Paws Bakery, and Sunflower Natural Pet Supplies. I have also had booths in the Lawrence Art Party Final Friday, the Bizarre Bazaar at the Lawrence Arts Center, and several times at Art in the Park,

I am also an avid treasure hunter & collector of discarded objects that need homes. Lawrence is a great place to search, especially on long walks to wear out my lab-pit-Weimeriner-ish mix, Stella. I also enjoy making creatures & altered art with my finds, combined with wire 'drawings' & connections, giving objects new life.
