My name is Syd, and I'm a freelance artist based in the Milwaukee Area! I'm a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Bachelors of Fine Arts, Studio Art (Painting & Drawing). While I worked in mostly oil paint at my time in school, I do have a lot of experience with acrylic and water color paints as well. In regards to drawing, I specialize in charcoal, graphite, ink (ballpoint, micron/brush-tip pens, markers and inkwell ink) and digital drawing methods. In my roles as a studio assistant, sign painter, and art ambassador, I’ve built strong skills such as communication, organization, and problem solving. I thrive on feedback and turning concepts into polished designs, finished works, and compelling visuals.
