Background
Cindy Stevens is a sculptor based in Centreville, Virginia, exploring the intersection of form, emotion, and the natural world. Fueled by a lifelong fascination with nature and a strong sense of design, she creates expressive sculptures that invite viewers to see the familiar in new ways. Her work includes bronze, resin, and cement-based materials, often blending realism with narrative and symbolism. Cindy has exhibited in juried shows including the Grand National Exhibition at the Salmagundi Club in New York and Best of the Best at the A.E. Backus Museum in Florida. She is also the creator of InstaBones™, an innovative sculpting armature system designed to make sculpture more accessible and enjoyable for artists and educators.
Philosophy
Guided by a mission of curiosity, compassion, and connection, Cindy Stevens’ work invites viewers to see the world through a different lens. Each sculpture begins with close observation and evolves through intuitive exploration, revealing both the spirit of her subject and the emotions it evokes. Her process is one of discovery—an unfolding conversation between the material, the subject, and the stories waiting to be told. Inspired by the expressive depth of the Old Masters and the honesty found in nature itself, her work balances strength and sensitivity, structure and flow. Themes of transformation, vulnerability, and resilience are central to her approach, reflecting her belief that art has the power to open hearts and shift perspectives. Through her sculptures, Cindy seeks not only to portray life but to celebrate its deeper patterns—reminding us of the beauty, fragility, and interconnection shared by all living things. Her art is ultimately an invitation: to pause, to feel, and to rediscover wonder in the world around us.
