Cy Rawls
Cy Rawls is a native Virginian but has lived in Louisiana most of the last forty years. She began studying art in high school under New Yorker Jeanne Roberts and later studied under Teresa Pollack, Maurice Bonds and Charles Sibley. This was in the heyday of the abstract expressionist movement. Ms. Rawls says of her student years, "While we were not discouraged from representational painting, we were discouraged from using any outside influence in our art–our paintings and drawings were to be completely freestyle and original, true expressions of our deepest-often subconscious- feelings. We drew and painted entirely from memory or live models." For many years Ms. Rawls worked as a graphic artist–as a contract artist at a local plant, sole proprietor of Industrial Graphics, and a stint doing computer graphics for the federal government. She has been an active member of River Region Art Association for the past nine years. Her work encompasses a wide variety of subject matters and techniques, from representational pen and ink drawings to bright abstracts in acrylic.
