Personal Growth. Cynthia Decker, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

For the month of July, Woolworth Walk will highlight digital artist Cynthia Decker in the FW Gallery. This will be Decker\u2019s first show in the space in about 15 years, despite her continuing presence as a member artist at Woolworth Walk. \u201cI\u2019ve waived doing a show at the gallery because my booth is so close to the show space,\u201d she says. \u201cI wanted to give other artists with less gallery visibility more opportunity to be up front. I have a lot of new work now, so I decided to go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The child of a computer science professor who did some work for NASA and a Ford Aerospace engineer, Decker had access to a home computer before it was common. She started doing digital art with paint programs in the late 90s. \u201cI enjoy the process of digital modeling,\u201d says Decker, \u201cand I love painting digitally\u2014although I do miss the mess and fun of regular paint media, so I still play with that too. However, I\u2019d have to say my single favorite thing about the digital medium is probably the ease with which I can layer and build the images and customize how those layers interact with one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

For this show, Decker chose unusual works that she doesn\u2019t usually show in her booth at Woolworth. Some of her new work is inspired by the isolation of the pandemic. \u201cMy process is the same, but I truly enjoy a quiet life and I found myself really inspired over the last year of being home more,\u201d she says. \u201cI have a lot of ideas and sketches ready to be worked on.\u201d<\/p>\n
