About ME

I’m Sidney and I’ve been creating since I was 5, or even younger. Maybe it runs in the family. My dads a carpenter and has a flare for stained glass work and birdhouses in his free time. My mom was interested in art when she was younger, and my sister and I have been doing it our whole lives.

I’m self taught, having no formal training today at the age of 25. The exception here is earlier education. Through high school I took every art class I could and had a very supportive teacher. (Shoutout to her, what a lovely woman) today, I am an experimenter. I’m eager to learn and to try things and I’ve dabbled in many accessible mediums. Oils are my going favorite for paintings. Alternatively I like to do detailed pencil sketches finished with watercolor, and I would like to do more large scale charcoal, pastel, or mural style pieces as well as I move forward.

As a day job I work as a picture framer. It scratches both my carpentry itch as well as my love for art. Its a very useful skill to me and it feeds into my artistic passion as well, giving me the skills I need to properly handle my own work and allows for good networking opportunities. Its a job that fits harmoniously together with my actual passions, and personality.
