I am a German born and New Zealand based arts professional. My work draws from the excitement of being lost in translation, visuals becoming the natural choice of communication.
It is my aim to make arts accessible and alive, and I work in a wide range of mediums.. While I am trained as a painter and illustrator, my main practice since 2015 has been in woodcut printing, and I started focusing on Japanese woodblock printing in 2016.
An arts educator since 2003, arts engagement through teaching, public work, interaction and collaboration is a strong part of my practice.
Sybille teaches Observational Painting and Drawing on a Tuesday and two 5-7 year old classes on a Wednesday after school.
