Enjoy this delightfully colorful art from the imagination of artist Cindy Wider, and visit her website to see more of her whimsical portfolio.
I am an Australian-born artist and recently moved to West Yorkshire England. The change is exciting! I feel as though I am bringing the tropics of Australia to the United Kingdom and can’t wait to get my work out there more.
We only arrived here eight months ago so I am still settling in really. I paint bright bold tropical fantasy and beach scenes either in acrylics on canvas, paper or as digital images in adobe illustrator.
At the moment I working on a series titled ‘Castaways’ for my art licensing agent in Florida, and it’s really fun! I choose the subject of tropical art because it reminds me of my happy childhood growing up in Papua New Guinea (the second largest island in the world).
I am inspired by the beautiful bright colours found naturally in lush tropical foliage, flora and fauna. When I was a child, nature was my playground and I call upon those memories to uplift me on a daily basis.
I began painting full time at the age of 21 when I gave up a successful career in hairdressing to follow my dream of being a professional artist. It’s been a whirlwind ride since I made that decision and a lifestyle that I am enormously grateful for.
I have enjoyed regular gallery representation, held solo exhibitions, won Government Scholarships and other art awards over the past 23 years in Australia.
Recently I gained representation for art licensing with Porterfield’s Fine Art in Florida. My work is going out for prints and canvasses to a number of venues, including Lieberman’s, and will be available soon.
Now I am seeking a fine art agent with gallery representation in London to help me share my bright bold tropical images with the UK.
Thanks so much for featuring the work of Cindy Wider! We carry her complete tropical portfolio for licensing and it’s a joy to see how she uses color to create rich, immersive images that transport us into the tropics.
Cindy’s fun themes and use of color are so appealing – I have no doubt she will be successfully licensing her art!
Cindy is a wonderful artist and a great person. It is so nice to see her work out there. I have had the pleasure of her friendship and she is just as colorful as you see here.
Love your bright clean colors! Loved viewing your work!
