Meet SYD
About SYD:
An acrylic painter based in Wilmington, NC, Sydney discovered her love for art early on. After earning a B.A. in Interior Design, she recognized art's essential role in completing a space. Painting became her outlet to express her shy personality and free spirit. Her bold, energetic canvases reflect a vivid color palette and a recognizable style that conveys a joie de vivre.
Sydney feels most at home on the water with her husband, Cam, young son Wilson, and pup, Sir Raleigh. Her work is featured throughout the Carolinas in select galleries, store locations, and locally in Wilmington’s GPrime Steakhouse and The Commodore Club.
In December 2023, Sydney showcased her talent at the prestigious Art Basel show in Miami, solidifying her status as a rising star in contemporary art. She welcomes commissions for individuals, corporate and public spaces, and residences, and performs live paintings for weddings and events.
Expanding her vision, she now offers a wearable art collection and will soon introduce textiles and home accessories with her 'BY SYD' signature designs. With each brushstroke, Sydney weaves a narrative of joy, beauty, and empowerment, leaving an indelible mark on admirers everywhere.
