Sylvia has been painting figurative paintings for well over 15 years. Before a painting session with models, she paints a still life. These are of products that bring up an emotionl respsonse from her own childhood and mixed heritage.
The small paintings were an instant hit with many of her clients and friends, and she very quickly started painting small products as commissioned works. All of the paintings are life-size and painted in oil on wood.
The paintings provoke nostalgic reations from many people, remembering their own childhod and seeing products that they grew up with and are often still using today. These paintings elevate everyday products into works of art and add personal warmth to any space instantly.

To quote Sylvia:
"Being a Manhattanite I've often found myself at dinner tables with people of different nationalities and have seen huge similarities regardless of the different foods they were eating. So let's get together, celebrate our heritage and diversity through food - a place where peace can be had over a shared meal. A good meal, like a community, is a result of a combination of ingredients. What is YOUR mix? You can order a series of different products to reflect who you are. "
