​Cynthia Chilen is an illustrator, painter, gardener, and teacher.
​I am an artist and educator, and I live in Kansas City, Missouri.
I've been enamored with living things as long as I can remember, and can often be found outside in the dirt, tending to my flowers.
When I'm not painting, printing, sculpting, or doodling, I love teaching kids and adults to see the world in a different light and help build their confidence as artists.
