| Polaroid instant pictures are
as far from impressionistic painting as you can get. Yet, in the
hands of Cindy Stec, they become not unlike Monet or Van Gogh. Cindy
has been experimenting with photography for many years and with Polaroid
impressions since 1996. Her first subject matter was two dozen-anniversary
roses. This started a passion in her that has continued and now includes
children, storefronts and farm scenes.
Now Stec is achieving prominence locally and is photographing and manipulating Polaroids on a commission basis. Works include limited edition prints and reproductions framed and unframed. Some even come framed with the original SX-70 Polaroid photo. |
Polaroid Impressions / Manipulations

A note from Cindy Stec the artist: “As a child my mother took
my best friend and I to be on the Kalamaty Kate television show.
Kalamity Kate always asked children what they wanted to be when they grew
up. My friend wanted to be a skydiver. I wanted to be an artist.
She grew up and became an English Teacher and I am an Insurance Agent &
Investment Representative.
“I don’t remember any of the children on that show saying they wanted to be an English Teacher or an Insurance Agent. Our hopes and dreams change, as we grow older, yet some childhood dreams do come true. So now I can say . . . I am an artist. So, what do you want to be when you grow up?” |
