Cindy is a mixed media artist and oil painter. Originally from South Africa, she has a BA in art history from Harvard and has studied painting in San Francisco and New York City.
In 1997, Cindy moved to New York City to become a full-time artist but found herself devoting more than two decades to creative projects with low-income children. She taught art at Avenues for Justice, an alternative-to-prison program for juvenile offenders, and she volunteered in public schools, teaching art history, writing curriculum, and giving museum tours. She was the art director of Lower East Side Bike Parade where her workshops helped neighborhood kids decorate their bicycles. She created a large mosaic for the the Lower Eastside Girls Club.
In early 2020, when Cindy's teaching ended with the Covid quarantine, she returned to her original goal, shifting her focus full-time to oil painting. Imagination and the joy of existence set the tone of her paintings, often coupled with awe for nature and inspiration from poetry.
Cindy's paintings have been published twice in All SHE Makes magazine, twice in The Purposeful Mayonnaise Journal and in Photo Trouvée and GoddessArts Magazines. Interviews with Cindy are featured in the online publications Art Feeds Souls, Clover & Bee magazine, and Strictly Magazine.
In recent years, she exhibited her work online at the PxP Contemporary Gallery, the TMP Gallery, the Camelback Gallery, and the Arts to Hearts Project. Previously, Cindy's exhibits included a solo show in,New York City, sponsored by ChaShaMa and a one-week-long guest show at the Matthew Marks Gallery, benefiting the Duk Lost Boys Clinic the Sudan.
