Biography
Notable Accomplishments
Notable Accomplishments
Cynthia Rahming Munnings 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 Munnings works explores identity and culture. Growing up multi-culturally while traveling extensively throughout her adult life, Munnings 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, Munnings’ 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.

Notable Accomplishments
Solaris Open Show- D’Aguliar Art Foundation, 2024
Focused on celestial art, “In the Day’s Sky” and “Shining in the Dark Sky” were featured in the Solaris show. Both pieces are part of the series “The Place I Once Travelled” that depicts my interpretation of the same emotion I felt in 2 different places in the world. “In the Day’s Sky” is about the warmth of the Bahamian sun that was felt on an uncanny sunny day in London. Where ”Shining in the Dark Sky” is about a feeling of loneliness felt both outside my childhood home in Nassau and when I spent 3 months traveling in Japan.
Gaulin Wife Folklore Sculpture - National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, 2016
The Gaulin Wife is a Bahamian folklore discussing the topic of xenophobia. The sculpture was interactive and allowed a patron to have the “wings” of the gualin (a bird that is culturally deemed as ugly). The sculpture was a highly celebrated piece that was featured in the Nassau Guardian and The Tribune, the two biggest newspapers of The Bahamas.
As Long As The Band Keeps Playing - Central Bank Gallery, 2013
A black and white piece based on the poetry of Michael Pintard, a politician and poet.
