Sylvia Igglesden

Sylvia’s early career in advertising led her to really appreciate creative thinking, art and design especially while working big blue chip accounts such as Kodak and Coca Cola.

It was only as an empty nester that Sylvia picked up a paintbrush again and began a passion for abstract expressionism. She derives her inspiration from nature, her love of outdoor pursuits (a keen sportswoman) and the bold shapes and colours in interior design. A real eco warrior ( and her frugal northern up bringing ) means she prefers to repurpose old artworks and charity shop finds than line the pockets of the big Art supply traders.

Her love of bright colour and mixed media is inspired by her favourite artists Barbara Rae and Gerhard Richter. Sylvia has twice been a wildcard in Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year as well as exhibiting regularly with the Wildwood Artists at High Clandon Vineyard and West Horsley Place.

In 2025 she was one of only 70 artists to feature in the Flux exhibition at the Bomb Factory Foundation in Marylebone.
