Cheryl Sylivant Bio & Statement
My art is an interaction with energy. I paint directly from looking at life in cities and on the land. I’ve painted at mountains, at the desert, in gardens and at the sea, and what happens is unpredictable even to me. There is a twilight zone of thought like when people fall asleep, and with my 20 years of painting outdoors, I create images on the canvas between what I am looking at and what drops in from my psyche.

I have traveled to paint on 5 continents, with a working method of taking a full oil painting set-up including a Stanrite easel, Guerilla brand travel paint boxes (with foam core in the slots and cut canvas taped onto each side), oil paint and brushes. I am not a realist painter and I taught myself to do this initially by varying speed between slow and deliberate, to fast and ahead of perception, and switching back and forth until now it is something that overtakes me and does itself. It is from my own learned behavior and practice with my brain.

I studied art at The University of Pennsylvania and The Art Students League of New York, and interior design, filmmaking, and arts administration at New York University. My degree in psychology is from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I volunteered with the Guggenheim museum for one year in their Learning Through Arts program, serving 6th graders in PS 186 in the Bronx.
