Welcome to all things earth, art + community.

Hi, I’m Sylvie

A painter, forager, and community builder with a deep love for the outdoors. My art is inspired by my inner world of emotions and the living landscapes of Ontario, where vibrant colours, expansive skies, and changing seasons remind me to slow down and stop to see the world around me.

Using materials I forage, like raw pigments and plants, alongside materials gifted by friends and family, I create abstract mixed-media paintings. Each piece becomes a collaboration with the materials I work with, reflecting the unique textures, rhythms, and stories held in my body, the land and the waters around us.

My journey into sustainable art began when I witnessed the river I grew up beside being polluted with motor oil. That moment shifted something in me. It changed how I think about our relationship with the earth. The earth is not something separate from us, but a living system we are part of and responsible for protecting.

Since then, my work has become a way to honour our relationships with the planet and explore what it means to be human within an ecosystem.

Whether you’re here to explore my artwork, learn to create with natural materials, or join a workshop, I hope you feel at home — and leave inspired to connect more deeply with yourself and the natural world.
