Meet SYD
About SYD:
Acrylic painter Sydney D. Falkner, known as “Syd,” discovered her love for art as soon as she could hold a paintbrush. Based in Wilmington, NC, she earned a B.A. in Interior Design, recognizing art as the yin to design’s yang. Her bold, energetic canvases, marked by a vivid color palette and recognizable style, convey a true joie de vivre.
Sydney feels most at home on the water with her husband, Cameron, their son, Wilson, and their beloved Cavalier, Sir Raleigh. Her work is featured throughout the Carolinas in select galleries, including Wilmington’s GPrime Steakhouse and The Commodore Club.
In December 2023, Sydney showcased her talent at the prestigious Art Basel show in Miami, solidifying her status as a rising star in contemporary art. She welcomes commissions for individuals, corporate and public spaces, and residences, and performs live paintings for weddings and events.
Sydney is making her mark in Wilmington with the opening of her own art studio, gallery, and storefront in the vibrant Soda Pop District of downtown. This creative space features her original artwork, limited edition prints, wearable art, and curated gift products, offering collectors and admirers an intimate glimpse into her artistic world. Sydney works out of her studio onsite, where she continues to push creative boundaries and bring her visions to life.
Expanding beyond Wilmington, Sydney is bringing her art to Palm Beach, FL represented by Oditto Gallery located off Worth Avenue. Her exclusive Palm Royale Collection pays homage to the city’s rich history, glamour, and timeless elegance, featuring iconic landmarks and the essence of coastal luxury. Additionally, Sydney continues to evolve her brand with apparel and home accessories adorned with her BY SYD signature designs.
