Cindy Woest

Imagine a painting that captures the vibrant essence of a place in every brushstroke. Artist Cindy Woest paints images that are instantly loved thanks to her love of loose, vibrant colour.

For Cindy, the most fulfilling aspect of her work is creating commissioned pieces that resonate deeply with her clients, bringing joy, cherished memories and beauty to their everyday lives. Living amidst the breathtaking scenery of Whangarei Heads, Cindy immerses herself in its landscapes, capturing the essence of this place in many of her paintings. Her art is driven by the interplay of colour and light, captured through painterly realism. One of Cindy’s most famous paintings is Jess in the tide – a large 102 x 77 cm oil on board painting of Jess standing in the incoming tide of the Taiharuru inlet, near Pataua South. “It was a beautiful day, and the sun was glistening off the incoming tide and illuminating Jess’s back. I just had to capture the memory” Cindy explains, “The painting is a symbol of a special family day spent exploring the Northland coast. I’ll treasure it forever.” 

Cindy uses a number of mediums, produces work in a range of sizes, and has developed products featuring her images. With a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Fine Art History, Oil Painting, and Geography, and years of corporate strategy experience, Cindy has now returned to her true passion and has brought her business professionalism with her.
