ARTIST STATEMENT - SYLVIA DOUGLIN
Artist
Sign collage designed by Curator.Description
"I'm Sylvia Douglin, a retired corporate trainer turned full-time artist at age 71. My creative journey began in early childhood with a fascination for faces and fashion. By the time I was four, I was already sketching and creating—eventually designing women's wear for a small clientele and exploring various artistic mediums along the way.
ARTIST STATEMENT (an excerpt)
Today, I create portraits using only recycled cardboard and paper. These materials—often overlooked or discarded—are my paint, my brush, and my canvas. I cut, layer, and shape each element by hand. Nothing is drawn or painted. Everything you see in my work comes from carefully selected and repurposed materials like paper bags, cardboard packaging, and coffee cup sleeves."
