Cindy Cheng is a jeweler and sculptor who lives and works in Baltimore, MD. Before focusing completely on her studio practice, Cindy was a faculty member at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) where she taught in the Drawing and General Fine Arts Departments. She has participated in residencies at the Joan Mitchell Center NOLA, Anderson Ranch, and most recently at Arrowmont School of Art’s Pentaculum. She is a recipient of a 2018 Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant and in 2017 she won the Sondheim Artscape Award.. Cindy has participated in many exhibitions, most recently at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond and the Baltimore Museum of Art. She is driven by a thirst to acquire skills and grabs any opportunity to learn something new. Recently, that has meant taking a dive into cloisonne enameling and gem carving, especially faceting. Cindy received her BA from Mount Holyoke College. She received a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from MICA in 2008 and then earned an MFA from MICA’s Mount Royal School of Art in 2011.

In fall of 2025, Cindy was an artist in residence at the Baltimore Jewelry Center.
