Cynthia Sexton, Executive Director Cynthia Sexton, Executive Director

Cynthia Sexton, a native of Gallia County, has effectively converted her passion into a prosperous career. As a thriving business owner for over four decades, she has acquired an impressive array of credentials, including a PHD in the Helix hair cutting system, a master’s degree in hair coloring, and American and International board certified hair color specialist. Sexton has also showcased her expertise as a performing artist, sharing her knowledge with salon professionals across the nation. With a proven track record of dedication, performing in numerous plays, serving as a volunteer for the FAC for over 20 years and as board chair for six years, Sexton’s appointment as executive director last year was a natural progression. Her unwavering ethics and genuine zeal for the arts make her an exceptional fit for the FAC, where she can harmoniously combine her fervor and profession once again. Sexton has served on many boards through the years and enjoys giving back to her community. She and her husband Richard have two married daughters and one granddaughter.

Jenny says she loves the variety in her job and looks at each day as an adventure. She has joined the Riverby Theatre Guild and has been a cast member for several productions.
