Author, Songwriter, and Recording Artist

 

Welcome to Cindy O’Neil.com

Donation Event Update:Artist: Adrea Whirl

Our 2 week donation event ended January 30th. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us to help The World Parrot Refuge.

We’ll know how much money was raised when we get the iTunes sales report in February or March. As soon as we have an amount we’ll post it for you.

I call this my internet galaxy because of the array of projects that I’ll be sharing with you here. Sometimes I feel that I’m jumping between planets when I move from writing to graphic art/photography to singing/recording. Though a few of my projects have their own website, this is the one place that you’ll find info on or links to all of my works.

Please make yourself comfortable and take a cruise through; listen to my music, read some of my writings and drop me a note if you have a question.

New articles are posted on my Writing page. There you can also read more about my e-book. You can sample and purchase Before The Mist in multiple formats from Smashwords.

 

Call to painters, photographers and graphic artists world wide.

I’ll be including 20 images in my next book that are original works of art. If you are an undiscovered artist check out the image submission details and requirements here:

Creative Kidding

For two years running my family and I have participated in a Send-A-Kid To Camp fundraiser by painting a Muskoka chair for auction.  It’s a fun and creative way to give to community. This year we called our chair “Kidz Creation” and I wrote this poem to explain the chair for the 2011 auction. There were so many wonderfully painted chairs – all of them unique in their own way.

We painted this creation
To help give a kid a vacation
A fun colourful chair
That could go almost anywhere

We adults did the arms and bits
For the back and where someone sits
The kids took the reins
With exterior paints and stains
Expressing their imagination
While working in cooperation

We love to do our part
By creating the interesting art
But You’ll be a champ photo credit: Cindy O'Neil
And send a kid to camp
When you buy our Kidz Creation chair
That could go almost anywhere

The Send-A-Kid To Camp program provides opportunities for disadvantaged children to enjoy pleasurable camping experiences. You can get more info at their website.
