Artist Statement

"Leaving the Beach" is Acrylic on canvas painting. It is the latest work from Brenda Sylvia�s Trails and Trees series. It was inspired by a favorite location near her Reedville, Virginia home. Brenda strives to create a special sense of place in her work. Brenda�s life recently dramatically changed when she returned to Virginia after a decade of living in the US Virgin Islands. This series focuses on the choice to explore new paths in our lives.

"Uncommon Snapping Turtle" is a mixed media sculpture created with driftwood, wire, and sea glass. It is a larger-than-life representation of one of the many snapping turtles inhabiting the wetland areas near her home by the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. Much of Brenda Sylvia�s artwork is inspired by her love of nature. Creating this turtle was definitely a labor of love.
