Cynthia Busic-Snyder

Visual storyteller and practicing artist, Cynthia Busic-Snyder studied Visual Communication Design in the Department of Industrial Design at the Ohio State University, where she developed an interest in both practicing and teaching graphic design. After working as a graphic designer and art director (identity, point of purchase, signage systems, and print for both retail and business-to-business clients internationally), she shifted her focus to higher education and instructional design.

Following a nearly 20-year teaching career in higher education, she now works as a textile artist, printmaker, and chicken wrangler in rural upstate New York. Cynthia continues her graphic design practice by providing pro-bono design services for community arts initiatives and not-for-profit groups. Her thoughtful and sometimes whimsical compositions explore and expand on philosophical observations of human interaction, the environment, and issues of [in]visibility.
