Bitter Blooms 1

Syd Bee is a graduate of Cornish College of the Arts in 2013. She lives and works in Seattle, where she can be found painting while surrounded by a library of fairy tales, comic books, collectable oddities, and a Persian cat. Syd Bee’s interest in folklore, femininity, youth, and the bizarre fuel her passion to create work which captures figures in a dreamy moment. She uses softness in application and color to suggest sweetness in spite of a creeping despondence. Bee’s figures appear melancholy and at odds with unseen forces. Through her explorations, perhaps one day these characters may overcome their circumstances.
