Artist Bio
“My work expresses a longtime interest in memorials – markers of deep human experience. The dress motif in this larger context is a notation of, and memorial to certain feminine experiences, and as a form that holds long histories of female narrative"
Sylvia Whitton (she, her) is a visual artist whose early career as a theatrical set-painter established the mixed media surfaces in paintings with which she currently explores the intersection of a feminine narrative and environment, both extant and imagined.
She has exhibited in Seoul, South Korea, and in China at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum in Shenzhen, 2010, and at the Museum of Fine Art of Kaiping in 2012. Whitton was also an invited lecturer and Graduate Studies panel member at the Shanghai International Studies University (SISU).
An Associate Professor in the Drawing and Painting Program, Sylvia Whitton is been a past Chair of First-Year for the Faculty of Art, a former Coordinator of OCAD’s Off-Campus Florence program, and has been engaged in many aspects of the university’s workings.
