Sharyn Seibert is a seasoned Guelph professional in the art and design fields as a decorator, artist and educator. Prior to working as a full-time artist, she taught secondary school for many years at the Guelph Collegiate and Vocational Institute. She believes in the magical healing power of nature and
creates paintings that communicate the wonder and beauty of the natural world. Acrylic, oil, urethane and paint pen are the media used to convey the richness and variety of her landscapes. She takes almost daily hikes into untamed lands, with canvases and art materials, sketching and painting in all seasons. For the past two years, her art has focused on the Ontario Reformatory grounds in Guelph. Most recently, she has been painting abstracts based on sketching at live jazz concerts, vibrant florals and iconic urban buildings.
Since April 2021, she has been a member of Artworks Gallery Guelph, a co-operative gallery in Guelph, which also has an annex gallery in Downtown Guelph at the Bookshelf Green Room. She has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Waterloo and has studied Fine Art and Design at the University of Toronto, University of Guelph, McMaster University, Lakehead University, University of Western Ontario, and the Michael John Angel Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. She is also a graduate of the Interior Decorating course at Sheridan College. She attended welding classes at Conestoga College, where she studied Mig, Tig and Oxyacetylene techniques.
Sharyn travels extensively and is certified as a travel consultant with the Travel Industry Council of Ontario. She has led many art and culture trips to Italy, where she has become a specialist in Renaissance art. Sharyn takes great joy in mentoring travellers, creating art and travel journals that include sketches, paintings and writing about their trips.
