Hello! My name is Sylvia. I began my art journey in 1997. I have been working on and off professionally since 2011. In my earlier years, I drew sports art for NHL and NFL reporters, some which made it to major sites such as The Washington Post. Between 2013 to 2023, I had to take a hiatus to caretake for my family, thus lost a lot of my ability to draw what I once could. I have recently enrolled in Marc Brunet's Art School Program to hone my skills once more. I am also currently in a mentorship program with Conquest Publishing to one day re-enter the professional world of art. I am looking forward in working commercial once more! I am hoping with love and support, you all will help me reach my goals to one day become a positive art influencer within the community. I would love to help teach those to draw, show step by steps, and offer merch to my wonderful friends, family and fans alike!Thank you for your continued support!
