| Cynthia Packard is a continuation of an artistic lineage. Her great grandfather, Max Bohm, was a respected turn-of-the-century Impressionist painter, and her mother, Anne Packard, is a widely collected landscape artist.
Born in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, Packard came to Provincetown in 1980 after graduating with an honors degree in sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art. Upon her return she studied with the late Fritz Bultman, began to paint and found herself addicted to color, brushwork and the human form. A gifted colorist, she paints exceptional figures, children and still lifes. Recently she has begun applying tar, wax, shellac and plaster, creating a dramatic surface, with the subject matter becoming more abstract. Cynthia is the mother of four children, Zach, Caleb, Silas and Emma – all often the subjects of her paintings.
