Like Margaret Tobin Brown, known as the fictional character Molly Brown, who helped save lives during the sinking of the Titanic, Cynthia Golonka displays that same kind of unstoppable spirit. Cyndi has survived business setbacks, artistic challenges, and unexplained health issues. She has worn many hats—commercial artist with her own ad agency, teacher and philanthropist, art gallery owner and entrepreneur, potter and sculptor, mother, grandmother, and health advocate.
Locally, Cynthia Golonka and her husband, Michael Golonka, are art gallery entrepreneurs who built the Racine Center for the Arts on Racine Drive. Their vision was to have a gallery, art studios, cafe, and showcases for local artists.
Internationally, Cyndi is an award-winning potter and clay artist. She has received recognition from the Chinese government at the International Museum in China for her clay sculptures. She has studied and traveled extensively in China.
Presently, Cyndi is focused on her health. At the age of 55, Cyndi was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease. After suffering for years with mysterious symptoms and health problems, she has found some answers. Her struggles over the years with her health issues are even greater testimonials to her indomitable, unstoppable, unsinkable spirit and view of life.
