South African artist Cynthia Kuun was born in 1957 in Pretoria. Her father was a school teacher , and recognized her talents at an early age. She still treasures the palette which he made her when she was at high school. She now lives in Mogale City, Gauteng, South Africa, with her husband, two boys and a daughter. She has been busy with painting since 1990. The urge to paint surfaced during childhood and at primary school started selling pencil sketches to her classmates. It was only during the latter part of her life that she received formal training from a number of the best representational art teachers in South Africa which she continues to perfect as the years go by. With her enormous natural talent, self discipline love and devotion for her work, she mastered the skill. Her work is done in oil on stretched canvas. She paints whatever she feels like and sometimes also uses her artwork to give expression to her emotions. She also does special commissions and her artwork has already been sold to satisfied customers throughout South Africa.
