About The Artist
Hello and welcome to my website! I am a mixed media artist based in Spartanburg, South Carolina and I am so excited to share my art with you!
I received my Bachelor’s in Art Education with a specialty in sculpture from Converse University in 2023 and I am currently pursuing my Masters in Applied Learning from the University Of South Carolina Upstate. I currently work as a high school art teacher in South Carolina and have had my artwork displayed various galleries and shows including the Spartanburg Art Museum and the Northern Light Art Gallery. I have worked as a restoration artist for the City Of Spartanburg and a sculpture teacher for the Spartanburg Art Museum.
The PROFESSIONAL stuff
Back in university, we had to make a website for my Arts Management class and I really didn’t know what I was doing (I still don’t). Ironically, I have no idea where that website is now. But, I wanted to start this website to showcase my art now and as a support for my small business that I started in August of 2024. Hey It’s Sydney Rose LLC. I created this LLC as a life long dream of becoming a professional artist and selling my art. My goal is to start by selling my original art as prints and see how I can grow my website from there!
The BUSINESS Stuff
While this isn’t a typical artist statement you would see in the third person, I feel like this fits me the best because I want this website to feel inviting and personable! In university, students were often told that we needed to find one medium or specific theme to make a name for ourselves in art and I want to change that stigma. The majority of my art definitely showcases my specific style in the way I create because I do tend to learn towards more alternative themes, but I don’t want to stick with creating with only one to two mediums. I want to create and try all mediums of art! That is why I like to call myself a “mixed media” artist. Sometimes I love making sculptures and 3D pieces including ceramics and jewelry, while other times I enjoying drawing with ink pen or acrylic markers etc. I love so many types of art and I like trying different things. I don’t think that I should have to stick to one type of art to make a name for myself. Art is art and it should make us happy as creatives.
My Artist STATEMENT
Behind The Art
While I am not being an artist and art teacher I am a part time server at a restaurant, content creator, and just doing my best to live my life to the fullest! I love yoga, roller skating, going on day trips, and trying new things! I am always down to drive multiple hours just to try a hole in the wall restaurant I saw on Tik Tok! I have amazing friends and family that I am so thankful for and how much they support me on all of my creative and sometimes chaotic endeavors! You can find me on every social media platform @heyitssydneyrose
Thank you for joining me on my adventure!
