“There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. . .Such are the moments of our greatest happiness.” - Robert Henri
 
Cyprus is an artist based in Boise, Idaho - and capturing these moments is what drives her. Inspired by seizing the beauty in daily life, she often paints objects from around her house, plein air, or from references she collects herself while walking around Boise. Raised back and forth between Boise and Santa Barbara, both hometowns influence her greatly.

Always improving her skills, she has studied under: landscape painter Mark Davis, storyboard artist Justin Gordon,  muralist Jay Rasgorshek, and through Watts Atelier. Her work has been featured on the cover of Boise Weekly, in Plein Air Painters of Idaho 2026 Virtual Art Show, and the Water’s Edge Gallery. Her influences include Richard Schmid, Mark Boedges, and Daniel Keys.
