Cynthia McLean is a self-taught painter, metal sculptor, jeweller and fabric designer. She holds a diploma in Interior Decorating. Having always had a passion for art, she attended extra mural classes with the late M.P. Alladin, the Art Society (San Fernando) and Vera Baney. In 1984 Art Creators Gallery held a solo exhibition of her copper sculptures. For many years she successfully produced works of the highest calibre in this medium.
