Cindy Ruenes

Fine Artist; Singer-Songwriter

The rich artistic culture that is prevalent in Bucks County, PA and in nearby Delaware River towns in New Jersey has inspired Cindy Ruenes to paint the beauty that surrounds her.  She had always been in awe of artistic ability, but did not begin to study as an artist until 2000.  She is a member of the group, “The Painters’ Collective”, artists who are friends and supportive colleagues.  They have their gallery at Prallsville Mills in Stockton, NJ.  She creates landscape, still life and abstract paintings in oil and occasionally oil and cold wax.  She generally produces her paintings alla prima (paintings produced in one sitting) and almost always from a still life setup or en plein air.  Trained as a nurse, she works part-time as a biometric screener/vaccine nurse.  She is equally involved in the music and art scene in the area.   She is a singer-songwriter and performs locally, singing and playing acoustic guitar and classical guitar.  She performs with her brother, Steve Rocca in the duet, Dark Hollow Road.  

 “The arts help keep my life in balance.  They help me express my emotions in a way that helps me make sense of my life and my world.”
