Sylvia Vander Sluis
Sylvia Vander Sluis is a mixed-media artist who unites incongruous materials in raw, emotional constructions. Her sculptures confound and entice with their conflicting references. Inspired by the folds of rosin paper, the transparency of cheesecloth, and the grit of gravel, Vander Sluis creates metaphors for the dualities of life.
Vander Sluis graduated with an MFA from Western Michigan University and BFA cum laude from Syracuse University. She has been an associate member of Boston Sculptors Gallery, an artist resident at Vermont Studio Center, and has exhibited in numerous venues including New York Artists Equity Gallery, Upstate NY, and galleries in the Greater Boston area. Vander Sluis works from her studio in Lancaster, MA, and is a Core Member of Fountain Street.
