Cindy Kindred resides in Salt Lake City.  Her work is derivative of the Australian First Nation Aboriginal Art which she loves and collects.  Her hobbies include travel, reading and sewing, which she translated into her art during the Pandemic.  Cindy uses embroidery stitching to create fabric art pieces that are inspired by Aboriginal Artist’s patterns and stories. “I was surprised that most Aboriginal First Nation art is acrylic paint on bark or canvas.  It seems so naturally to translate to fabric and colorful thread.”    All profits from sales are donated to the Lockhart River Arts Indigenous Corporation, a First Nation Art Collective in Australia.

Cindy is a fundraising consultant.  She was the founder and for eighteen years CEO of Vanguard Media Group, an advertising agency with offices in Boise, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.  Ms. Kindred’s career has specialized in “cause marketing.”  Ms. Kindred developed the national award-winning Baby your Baby and Check Your Health campaigns both of which have been syndicated successfully in markets nationwide.  Her company created the Slow the Flow, Read with a Child, Use Only as Directed and a myriad of other cause marketing campaigns.

Cindy has served on many community boards including the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, Salt Lake City Library, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts National Leadership Board, Water for People National Board, the Utah Symphony, the YWCA, the Natural History Museum of Utah, the Wasatch Homeless Health Clinic and is an active member of the International Women’s Forum.  She has been honored for her community and business leadership by the YWCA, the Salt Lake Chamber and Utah Business Magazine and was recognized as a distinguished alum from her high school, among others.

Cindy has lived in Salt Lake City since 1982, moving here with her family from San Francisco.  Cindy grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
