On Speaker Cynthia Lawson

Cynthia Lawson was a very interesting speaker; I most thoroughly enjoyed the fact that she was a female. As an artist, I find it interesting that like any other field, art can at times seem male dominated--especially in regard to that which is linked to technology.

Cynthia's work was interesting because it was so unique, both visually and conceptually. I appreciated the fact that she not only understood how to apply technology to art, but also, because of her background in technology, truly understood the means in which such technology worked and operated.

I also enjoyed Cynthia's background and use regarding other cultures and countries. I truly appreciate the influence and impact of diversity on an artist, as I was raised in a bi-cultural household. I think experiencing other cultures really brings creativity to an artist and their work.

Overall, I found Cynthia Lawson to be very interesting, informative, and personable. She spoke well and was open to questions. It was an honor to be in the company of an internationally known artist.
