The colorful artwork by Cynthia Sampson at Montrose Center for Arts

Sampson, Cynthia


Even as a child Sampson was drawn to use the brightest crayons in the box. She would draw zebras in vibrant colors, and purple and yellow tigers.

It was her intense use of color that grabbed the attention of Michelle Wine Estates. Cynthia’s pastel painting “Wild Horses” graced their 14 Hands wine labels, as well as their stampede wine label for over twenty years.

Her artwork continues to win awards and has been published in the Wildlife Art Magazine, the Pastel Journal, Horses in Art, Sprint of the Road RV magazine and Telluride Style, as well as numerous newspaper articles. Sampson has had several solo shows and has paintings in private and corporate collections across the United States, Canada and Europe.
