Remembering Cidne Wallace… Cidne Wallace attributed her creativity to the beauty and grace of women, African American in particular. “That’s who I am. We are a wealth of knowledge, ideas, creativity, sass, and mother wit. I just glean from that with my work,” she said. She resided in Southern California where she created, volunteered, and enjoyed her beautiful days. With well over twenty years in the business, Cidne created graphic art, produced a wide range of inventory and canvas originals, and began her own small business. She humbly, graciously, joyfully always sent love out to all her fans, thanking everyone for their support of her work. Sadly, Cidne Wallace passed away in July 2024. She will be greatly missed.
