CYNTHIA WHITE

Visual Artist

Lives and works Gadigal Country / Sydney 

 

​

Born in Wagga Wagga, Cynthia began her undergraduate studies in Graphic Design and Photography at Nepean CAE. She worked as an Art Director and Illustrator in London and Los Angeles before returning to Australia. It was only after settling in one place with a large family that she started to paint.

 

She was recently selected as a finalist in the 2026 Grace Cossington Smith Art Award and the 2025 Greenway Art Prize. She was also a finalist in the 2024 and 2025 Waverley Woollahra Art School 9x5 Landscape Prize, and her work has featured in group and solo exhibitions.

 

Where her earlier work focused on the built environment, Cynthia's recent paintings reflect her return to the rural landscape of her childhood. These include enamel works on locally found objects or custom-made wooden frames, along with landscapes painted en plein air in acrylic on paper and board.
