About the Artist

From the moment Cydni first saw a realistic graphite pencil drawing, she felt its magic. Deciding to give it her all, she has been drawing with graphite pencils full time since 2023 and has done many commissions for buyers. She loves to share her art with the world by sharing her work on her website, on Instagram, in competitions, art festivals, in art museums and for special events. Cydni is honored to have her work in the most special spaces in your life. Cydni’s work is displayed in homes, offices, businesses, and studio spaces, and is featured on album art nationwide. Each piece Cydni creates is highly detailed, with every line meticulously placed. These pieces become all consuming as she brings an image to life through shades of grey.
