"SYBIL"
94 year old SYBIL RAMPEN is a living legend. She is a cornerstone in the Canadian Fibre Art world, and has elevated the status of Contemporary Fibre Art in this country over the last 30 years.
A humble yet talented artist in her own right, Sybil has encouraged and inspired countless emerging artists with her generous spirit and her experimental approach to art. She has built a thriving Heritage Art Centre - overflowing with inspiration, on the beautiful nature-filled grounds of her ancestral home in Oakville Ontario.
Sybil has travelled extensively, authored numerous books and taught hundreds of classes - sharing her own ingenious fibre art techniques. Sybil “gives back” in every sense. Her vision, determination, generosity, experimentation and dedication to fibre art, combined with her exceptionally positive outlook provides the recipe for Sybil’s full and successful life.
CONNECTIONS FIBRE ARTISTS feel fortunate to have known, and worked with Sybil, and are paying tribute to this humble but deserving unsung hero. Our “SYBIL” show is an exhibition of contemporary fibre art focussing on her amazing life.
Exhibited at the Orillia Museum of Art and History, 30 Peter Street South, Orillia, ON, Canada. January 13 - May 11, 2024
