Cydnie King: Natural Connections From Technology to Botanicals Cydnie L. King was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri to a family of artists. After graduating from Webster University in 2012 with a BA in Studio Art, she moved to Fairborn, Ohio in 2014 where she currently lives with her husband, son, daughter and dog. Her work is also featured in several private and public collections across the Midwest, including The University of Dayton. Where Her Art Lives Now Cydnie presently works for The Contemporary Dayton (The CO) as their Curatorial Assistant. She has been part of several exhibitions in Ohio and Missouri including the prestigious St. Louis Art Fair and solo exhibitions at the Terry Lynn Studio and Gallery in Fairborn, The Betty at Front Street and the African American Visual Artists Guild (AAVAG) in Dayton, Ohio. Her latest solo exhibition, “New Work & Explorations,” was featured at The Betty on Front Street in October 2024. Cydnie is currently participating in “Crosstown Connection,” a group show combining two Dayton arts organizations, Dayton Society of Artists and AAVAG into one exhibition running through August 2025. Circuits, Color, and Creative Pulse Cydnie’s main body of work explores the connection between humanity and nature by using bright colors to portray androgynous figures and technological circuits physically attached to botanicals. She works with inks, pastels, color pencils and charcoals because she likes the fluidity of each medium together and the saturation of colors that help emphasize the power of the images she creates.
