Cindy Christian – The White Show

Cindy Christian is an artist who lives and works on Martha’s Vineyard. She is a trained art therapist and mental health counselor and currently works in Early Intervention with the children and families of the Island. In her downtime, she creates!

Creativity has been the anchor of Cindy’s life since childhood, and she has explored a variety of ways to express it. She enjoys drawing, painting, fiber arts, collage and mixed media, writing, music, and gardening. Primarily self-taught, she learned painting techniques by studying under artists including oil painter, Elaine Farmer of Amherst, NH and watercolorist, Suzanne Binney of Hollis, NH.

Since moving to the Island almost 3 years ago, Cindy has been inspired by the simple beauty of the Island and its inhabitants. From the raw, open land of Aquinnah with windswept twisted trees to the quaint gingerbread cottages of Oak Bluffs or simply the roaming chickens on State Road, she seeks to capture their charm and essence.

Cindy’s work is eclectic as she explores a variety of mediums and subject matter.  She instills beauty in her work, seeing what could be rather that what is in reality. She has a love for nature and animals and has recently added commissioned pet portraits to her repertoire. During the 2019 All Island Art Show in Oak Bluffs, she received second place in the watercolor division for the painting entitled “Tashmoo Sunset”.
