Sobre el Artista

Sylvia Bandyke, from Royal Oak, MI, USA, uses the collage format to integrate associated images into a cohesive unit that is even more compelling because of the embedded story. Having been a playwright and technical writer, she is used to delivering content with a message. Now as a visual communicator, Bandyke continues to provide meaning via the structure of the collage format, wherein the four photos confirm, augment or even contradict each other if warranted. Bandyke enjoys offering the richness that the multiplicity of images provides along with the impact gained through thoughtful positioning of them. Each collage is approximately 14" x 14" framed.  She began her career by displaying in ArtPrize, Grand Rapids, MI, 2014-2018.  Subsequently she was juried into many exhibitions in MI to include those of  the Artists’ Society of Dearborn, Northville Art House, Detroit Scarab Club, Lawrence Street Gallery, Grosse Pointe Artists Association, Detroit Artists Market (won six awards at various shows).  At present, Bandyke has been juried into over 100 group exhibits at galleries in 23 other states from coast to coast, such as Rhode Island Center for Photographic Art in Providence and HMVC Gallery in New York City to Las Laguna Gallery and San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center.  She continues to be juried into and win awards in the online international shows of Light Space & Time and Fusion Art.
