Bews-Wright, Sylvia

Lives in Victoria, BC

Artist Statement

Sylvia Bews-Wright came to art as a mature student at University of Ottawa and The Banff School of Fine Arts after a good number of years as an itinerant high school English teacher and world-travelling hippie. A few weeks of exposure to options for diplomatic wives after her marriage convinced her to follow a long-standing interest in art and her studies continued in between foreign postings, primarily in Africa and Asia.
