Sylvia Armstrong – Artist Biography
It all began with the Beatles. ‘Yesterday’ was Sylvia’s very first painting. It won 2nd prize in a local art contest. Her husband will not let her sell it – it has an emotional tie! She has been hooked ever since and enjoying her artistic journey!
Sylvia currently lives in Goodyear Arizona where she moved after residing in Colorado for twenty-two years. She began painting after retirement and has continued to explore the arts. She is self-taught and never seems to run out of inspiration. She likes to dabble in all mediums, and mixed media and watercolor have become favorites.
Her work can best be described as impressionistic abstract that is fresh, bold and different than the mainstream. Color intensity is a common thread in all her latest works. She is inspired by music, nature and “what could be”. Her imagination carries the realm of her work into unknown places only to be discovered by the viewer.
A few comments of people seeing her work from the Emerging Series in recent shows have stated: “Colors draw you in”, “like the boldness of the color and strength of the design. Happy, feel good painting”, “Beautiful colors, excellent composition, innovative style – evokes emotion”. We agree.
She has won several awards for her work in both Colorado and Arizona and continues to create compelling pieces.
