Sylvia Kempson

Illustrator: Page 18, Mine Drawing Sketch

 

Sylvia Kempson was born in South Africa. She specialized as an art teacher at the Johannesburg College of Education. Her personal growth as an artist was put on hold for twenty-five years due to her work commitment as a teacher. Sylvia moved to Sudbury, Ontario, in 2012. She now paints full time. Although she has always had an innate creative ability, her work has developed exponentially over the last five years. Her forte lies in portraiture in oil. She incorporates a whimsical spin to her portraits by adding headwear, jewelry and hairstyle, thereby transforming the characters she is depicting.
