Cynthia Siegel
Award-winning sculptor and 2014-2015 Fulbright-Nehru Scholar to India, Cynthia Siegel focuses on the expressive possibilities of the figure.

Her work is part of many public and private collections, and is included in such publications as Ceramics Today, Ceramic Art and Perception, and 500 Figures in Clay. Ms. Siegel has presented lectures and workshops in India, Israel, Taiwan, China, New Zealand, and the U.S. Her undergraduate degree is from the University of Pennsylvania and her MFA degree is from San Jose State University.
