CYNTHIA FRENETTE
My name is Cynthia Frenette and I’m a creative designer, licensed illustrator, and artist based in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada.
I’ve been in the art industry full-time since 1991, and licensing my work since 2017.
I started my career in graphic design and over the years have expanded into illustration and licensing my work with my agent in the US. My work has been featured on everything from puzzles, to greeting cards, giftware, fabric, children’s books, and everything in between!
I work in mixed media, paper clay, paint, and whatever catches my interest and works for my ideas at the moment.
I had a gallery show at the Rock Family Gallery in Mission, BC, featuring my paintings, have done several art markets, and sell my work in person and online.
I work in several styles and mediums, People always remark that my work is extremely colourful and happy and makes them smile- mission accomplished!
I’m inspired by bold and vivid colour, flowers, retro style clothing and shoes, tattoos, vintage fabrics, mid-century design, tiki & surf culture, well-established English gardens, juicy squishy paint, nature, the beach, old movies, typography, handmade things, interesting packaging and labelling design, and thrifty treasure hunting.
When I’m not making art, you can find me (and my hubby) walking our dogs Stella and Charlie, yoga-ing, painting, or gardening.
