Listen "Cindy Rizza"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Becky Barsi and Joe Acone sit down with fine artist and painter Cindy Rizza.Cindy is celebrated for her intimate still lifes that transform everyday textiles, heirlooms, and domestic objects into meditations on memory, comfort, and vulnerability. Her work often blurs the line between sanctuary and tension, inviting viewers to consider the deeper emotional and cultural weight carried by familiar materials. In this conversation, Cindy opens up about where her inspiration comes from, the process of translating personal memories into her visual language, and how she’s learned to be guided by her own taste and intuition. Dive into Cindy’s work at www.cindyrizza.com as well as on her instagram www.instagram.com/cindy_rizza.Listen to this episode wherever you listen to podcasts or on our website www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com.
