Siryn (b. 1982) is an artist, mother, and disabled veteran residing in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Her art focuses on flora, fauna, and the human body: a union of charcoal, watercolor, and 24k gold. Her work explores the relationship boundaries between life and death by honoring the beauty found in celebratory occasions and solemn affairs. This focus allows her to showcase the elation of elegance found in fine details while also focusing on the gritty reality of the everyday.

           Siryn holds a BA (Evergreen State College) with a focus on fine arts within Chinese religion and folklore. The ideology of yin and yang, good and evil, or life and death found within the teachings of Buddhism permeates Siryn’s work and can be seen as dualism: the unity of self and is reflected within the artwork’s portrayal of symbiosis between nature and mankind.

Siryn has been teaching art to adults, teens, and children since 2005. Privately collected through the United States she has been exhibiting locally since 2015. She is currently working on a mural for a local elementary leading to the launch of “Silhouette’s for Schools” a program designed to provide extra funds to art programs in local underprivileged schools. She is also working on a Solo show entitled “Just a Phase”.
