Biography
Cindy is still researching her family history but believes she has links to the Walmadjari people of Western Australia. Cindy was born in Bairnsdale in 1974, the daughter of George Dean and Heather Morgan and currently resides in the Sale area. Cindy says that she has recently become aware that she was born into a creative family and considers herself a “late-bloomer”. Her father, whom she describes as a “deadly painter”, inspires Cindy. Becoming more culturally aware is a goal for Cindy who was never denied her heritage and learnt about her culture from family members. An exciting developing artist in her first few years of practice, Cindy’s varied style shows an innate emerging talent. Initially supported through the Aboriginal arts group Mix Up, which started in Sale during 2007, Cindy has since begun studying art at TAFE. With an expressed appreciation for traditional and contemporary Koori art, Cindy enjoys using bright colours and learning about different mediums and techniques and hungers for art and cultural experience. Cindy wants to be a professional artist capable in a variety of mediums and says: “I want my children to look up to me and have the same determination as I have whatever path they choose”.
