Painting allows Sylvia to explore her relationship with nature, capturing both the beauty of sublime landscapes and the tranquillity of the natural world, alongside the anxiety surrounding the climate crisis. These complex responses are reflected in her work.  Her focus is on the state of the environment,  highlighting our interconnectedness with the natural world.

​

Inspiration is gathered in the environment and taken back to the studio where Sylvia distils and reformulates her experiences.  Semi-abstract seascapes, painted in muted tones evoke a meditative sense of calm and serenity.  In contrast, her landscape work uses colour to express the emotional power of natural places.  Through her art, she seeks to re-enchant the landscape, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a transitional, liminal space.
