Cindy Procious

Cindy Procious (born November 13, 1965) is an American artist.

Born Cindy Lynn Donovan in Morristown, New Jersey, Procious is currently an oil painter but has previously worked as a graphic designer, illustrator, and editorial cartoonist. A 1983 graduate of S.R. Butler High School in Huntsville, Alabama, she went on to attend the University of Alabama in Huntsville as an art major, until her educational aspirations gave way to economic realities.

As editorial cartoonist for the Huntsville Times from 1998 to 2004, her work addressed local and state issues almost exclusively. With little more than 2 years experience as an editorial cartoonist, Procious was recognized by the Society for Professional Journalists as one of the best in the Southeast by naming her as a finalist for the 2000 Green Eyeshade Award. Procious also served as cartoonist for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals' Pfeelingood.com, and as the writer and cartoonist of Grass Roots, a comic strip featured in the "Children's Sentinel" Magazine published by the Christian Science Publishing Society. Procious resigned her position with the Huntsville Times in 2004, and left cartooning entirely soon after to devote her talent and energy to her first love- painting.

Working exclusively in oil, Procious produces still life paintings on contract for Marine Arts Gallery in Salem, Massachusetts and portraits by private commission from her studio in Signal Mountain, Tennessee. A member of the American Society of Portrait Artists and the mother of three, Procious is married to Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Clay Bennett.
