"I enjoy encouraging children & adults to explore their creativity, and to help them understand how it can help to bring fun, peace and even a sense of guidance into their lives...
Matans is the perfect place for this - it is peaceful, relaxed & a wonderful creative oasis from hectic, everyday daily life."

 

Cynamon utilises many types of art mediums and techniques in her workshops - painting, pastels, claywork, printing, textiles, drumming, singing and percussion, to name just a few....

Influenced by indigenous art and contemporary issues, Cynamon is often inspired to incorporate traditional craftskills and storytelling in her artwork.

She developed her skill of coil basketweaving from the Tjanpi Women Weavers of Alice Springs, during her 2007 visit to Central Australia. Her unique handmade baskets were a part of Matan's opening Exhibition of February 2008.

Cynamon's Mandala Art Paintings, again inspired by indigenous art, were also included in the February exhibition. Each painting is based on a circle, and reflects a spiritual, personal or inspirational story...
