. . . Sylvan is soulfully inspired.  Her creations begin from a walk along the ocean’s edge or a trek into the forest.  From these moments, Sylvan brings to life beautiful female images with fabrics that give the same textures she finds in the natural world.  When you look at her pieces they invoke feelings of joy!  What a gift she has to bring life to beautiful fabrics and birth to images that become immortal.
