Snorkeling is my new favorite hobby. It was amazing in Culebra, Puerto Rico — we saw every fish in the guidebook, tons of beautiful coral, a couple nurse sharks, sting rays, octopus, and we were very lucky to see tons of turtles. It must be nesting season because they were gathered around this one […]
Oh vacation. I already miss you.. I spent the last week snorkeling 1-2 times a day, seeing all the beaches on the island, and chasing sunsets – literally. There was one day where we had to run to the beach to catch it. [The jeep behind us that didn’t run missed it]. […]
A new Brooklyn design – for cards, prints, maybe a bedspread?
I’ve been working on this one for a while.. When I think of Brooklyn, the colors that come to mind are rusty reds and grays. This one looks great in a bigger size so I want to offer prints […]

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!
~ Cindy
