September 24 – October 27, 2006

In 1985 while on a visit to Scotland, Cindy Matyi encountered a most rhythmic style of art which has intrigued and dominated her paintings ever since – the interlacing, spiraling, restless style of Celtic art. Motifs used ancient Celtic tribes on tombs, weapons and jewelry and later transformed by monks into the beautifully disturbing and complex illuminated manuscript pages now play an important part in the large oil paintings she creates. But these contemporary works go beyond Celtic replication. Cindy Matyi leads a growing company of post-modern artists whose original work is attracting international attention as part of a living tradition.

Cindy’s work has appeared in galleries across the U.S. and in Europe. She has illustrated book and CD covers, posters, and websites. She still finds time to play Celtic music with the band, Silver Arm and is the founder and artistic director of the Cincinnati Celtic World Festival.

Cindy, along with 5 other speakers, will be participating in the Irish Sampler series to be held on the Marian College campus from September 27 – October 25, 2006. Cindy is the first scheduled presenter in the series and students, faculty and staff are welcome to register at a reduced fee of $20 per session with the exception of the Irish Foods which is $45 for all. Registration forms are available in the library or can be downloaded from the library’s web page, library.marian.edu.
