Cindy Burchfield is lost in Alaska. Since arriving on the shores of Juneau in the mid 90s, she has never looked back. Cindy has a passion for the Alaskan lifestyle that she and her husband live to the fullest. The imagery and icons of her travels in Alaska are captured in her watercolors.

She is an avid outdoorsman; fishing, hunting, hiking and exploring the Last Frontier. She has hoisted a 214 pound halibut from the depths of 225 feet, landed and netted two salmon simultaneously aboard her skiff and hunted remote beaches from her friend’s Cessna 180. She is undeniably Alaskan.

Cindy began painting as a child with her grandmother, Juli, an accomplished Southwestern oil painter. It was watercolor that landed Cindy’s first museum showing in her early teens. An artist was born. Under the direction of her college professor, Arni Anderson, she produced a considerable portfolio of watercolor work -- most of which sold before graduation. A business woman was born.

Her talent for the written word as well as the visual arts landed Cindy in the field of marketing in 1986. Currently she “daylights” as the marketing director for Alaskan Brewing Company in Juneau. She rounds out her free time completing an Alaskan children’s book, “Gimme, Gimme Moocher Marmots,” due out in 2004. Adult and youth watercolor classes are also offered locally.

Lost in Alaska Studios is Cindy’s home on Marmot Bluff just past Five Mile Creek on Douglas Island. She blissfully shares this haven with her husband, Kevin, Remington the lab, Whiskey the scottie and many Alaskan creatures.
