Cynthia Cooper featured by Goshen Arts Council

Cynthia was recently featured by the Goshen Arts Council with a profile about her ceramics and her passion for the environment.

I touched clay in eighth grade, and I knew that was my medium immediately.

I have three sisters who are all teachers. My mother was a teacher. I was going to be a teacher. It was sort of like ‘Mr. Holland’s Opus’ – I didn’t feel like I was really good enough to go on and just be an artist. I don’t regret that now. I think at the time I thought, ‘Oh, I’m going for the lesser.’ But it ended up being the best thing for me because I really liked teaching.
