Cindy Leong

Tāmaki Makaurau based painter and photographer, Cindy Leong has an artistic practice that can be described as abstract expressionist and minimalist. Guided by her interest in philosophy, the intention behind Cindy's paintings are for its audience to slow down and enter a calm introspective headspace. Inspired by nature, connection, energy, the passing of time.

We worked with her to create our beautiful seasonal wrapping paper and our current window installation. We invite you to visit the store, pause and reflect on what the mark making means for you.

"When I am creating, this is when I feel the most free and authentic to who I am as a person."

1. Hasami Porcelain Planter // Small

I have one of the planters in my studio and feel it has a grounding prescence. Simple, japanese and earth toned - a winning combination for me

2. Craft Tape Basket // Natural

This is exquisite. I would love to slowly shop at a Sunday market with this.

3. Steel Toolbox // Mini

I feel like everyone could benefit from having this mini toolbox - great to store small items that easily go missing. I'm currently using mine to store my favourite pens and handwritten notes.

4. Shell Incense Holder

I think I have a small obsession for incense holders. When they aren't in use they act as tiny art sculptures. This brass shell incense holder is crafted beautifully. It's also very clever how it opens like a shell, able to hold any sized incense stick!

5. Ceramic Utensil Holder

I'm a big fan of Misma's ceramic work. There is a calming, wabi-sabi-esque feel to her creations which I feel aligns with my artistic practice as well.
