Mary Cynthia Rothenberger

Mary Cynthia Rothenberger is a painter from Pennsylvania, USA. Most of her works are in private collections across the US. She is inspired by the environment at home and in places where she has traveled. Gardens, landscapes, and people going about their everyday life are important motivations in her process. She frequently enjoys painting en plein air while traveling. In addition to beautiful and colorful images, she is attracted to organic forms like wood dying in a burning fire, or crumbling pavement, or decaying woodlands. 

After three years of studying art at the university level, she decided (for practical purposes) to switch her career aspirations to business education. She obtained an MBA and then a doctorate, becoming a university professor and then a Dean. Many years later, she returned to painting, sketching, and photography. She is preparing for a solo exhibit in the post-CoVid era.
