Biography
Notable Accomplishments
Notable Accomplishments
Cynthia Rahming is an illustrator, muralist, painter, and multi-media installation artist. As a child of mixed heritage (daughter of a first generation Philipina-Scottish American and a Fox Hill Bahamian), much of Rahming’s works explores identity and culture. Growing up multi-culturally while traveling extensively throughout her adult life, Rahming has been keenly aware of the differences in perspectives and values of others, especially in comparison to her own family.
Hearing personal anecdotes of surviving World War 2 in the Philippines versus in Scotland and listening to the creatures that came to life through the Bahamian folklores, Rahming’s interest in her grandparents’ childhood continues in her work. She explores the lifelong journey of grappling identity, the push and pull of societal expectations, versus the personal quest for self-definition.
