Cindy Powell
"I find inspiration in the beauty of sunsets, the sounds of honking geese flying overhead, the lonesome sound of a Fish Eagle, the sight of birds circling and gliding on the air currents and encounters with wild creatures in their natural environments."
HUMANITY REFLECTED
EXITING NEW EVENT CLOSES THIS YEAR'S SUMMER EXHIBITION
Cindy closed our Summer Exhibition with an even bigger installation of paintings, which asks the harrowing question
‘is it already too late to save our vulnerable wildlife?’
Cindy’s commitment to wildlife conservation is a theme running through all her work, and never more so than in this new piece ‘Humanity Reflected’. This series of seven paintings is Cindy’s chilling re-interpretation of the Genesis creation story. Each scene is painted on mirror and visitors will be invited to participate in fulfilling its prophecy.

In April 2023 Network Rail revealed a new artwork at Paddington station to highlight the company’s commitment to protecting wildlife and biodiverse habitats alongside the railway. The artwork is a print of five oil paintings done by Cindy Powell, depicts a Great Western Railway Class 800 IET alongside images of British wildlife in a surrealist style reminiscent of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. The piece celebrates the diversity of habitats and creatures found along rail corridors and Network Rail’s work to protect them.
