One more preview and I’m off to the National Stationery Show! This is a page from my new catalog. Lots of pretty images and patterns. One of my favorite new designs this year, this one is called Rock. This is for telling the person you love most in the world how much they mean […]
“Brighter place” cards and prints are now available in the shop. I’ve been getting a lot of good feedback in person about this design. I really love having it in my home. It makes me think about the potential […]
I’ve been mentioning the Fun A Day exhibit opening on Saturday. Now’s the time to figure out a ride, clear your afternoon and plan on coming! I’ll be there with 31 new ink drawings.
And a special release — The work above is a colored version of one of the drawings I […]
One of my best customers and new friend, put my Land of Make Believe print up in her new nursery. I love the cheery, yellow frame! And my prints have been rumored to send good vibes out for happy, healthy babies… Happy wishes to Shelly! Thanks for sharing.

Focus 8×10 print. I’m adding it to my wall right […]
I’m finding some time to relax this weekend. Maybe some cherry picking?
I did a Storybook Print photo shoot with the actual book I used for the background of these illustrations. The book is signed a “Present from your mother” to Henry Hirst in 1884. Maybe someone will have my prints in 2084 and say, “Wow, this was […]
After some glitches in the server world, we’re back online. And I’m letting it go……….
A good one for a Friday, this is my new print. Not sure if I like the blue or green better. I wanted to (definitely) give one to my mom and she doesn’t like blue, so […]
My first print!

about me
Hi! Thanks for visiting. Drawing and creating has become a way for me to de-stress. I'd like to do it more often. This is a space for me to share my art and inspiration, my card designs, and to remind myself to stress less.
My card business and moving outside of NYC [gasp] is a new adventure in my life and I'm happy to be able to share it with you. Feel free to drop me an email cindy [ at ] cynla.com, leave a comment or two, or visit my website (www.cynla.com) and shop (cynla.etsy.com).
Happy de-stressing!
