Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Sydney has been an art nerd since she was first able to hold a pencil. Illustrating in good ol’ fashioned graphite, her work is for those with an inclination for the dark, the mysterious, and most importantly: the weird! The tactile feeling of pencil on paper is grounding and powerful, serving as a conduit to conjure gothic horrors and beautifully dark beasts. Alongside Sydney’s visual art, she enjoys using the written word to draw out creatures from unseen worlds, both to delight and to spook unsuspecting viewers. Using the skills she cultivated during her time at Sheridan College, Sydney aspires to pursue a career in the tattoo industry and creature design, and to couple her love of visual and written storytelling.
