Art is an investment.
Art enhances a space, reminds you to be creative and helps you think outside the box. Art not only builds market value but also sentimental value over time. Art can commemorate the life and spirit of a loved one or it can shed light on a harsh truth. Studies have shown that simply viewing art can offset cognitive decline, lower stress levels and decrease the healing time needed for medical patients in hospitals. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Buying artwork is not just a frivolous splurge; it is an investment in the quality of life.

Jamie Nyennoh of Akron receiving a caricature from Fiance Amber Cullen in June 2020. Look at that face! Pure Love.
I save every handwritten card anyone ever gives me. They all go into a photo album. 😆 especially the ones about art. I go back and read them when I’m not feeling too good about my progression & they always remind me of my WHY. ❤️ I don’t do it to create perfection, I do it to elevate lives.
This is the super aesthetic scene directly from my sisters bedside. In her words “I always place it so that it’s visible when I first wake up. She reminds me that ‘I’m that bitch and I got this’”. Well said, Kayla Sykes, well said.
Fly; adj: To be of an ELEVATED caliber. Existing above normal or average expectations.
This review made me smile because of my SylviaPaints Mission Statement: to bring the world healing through an ELEVATED experience of human centered art. Very fly, indeed.
Home Studio of Jade Jackson of Empress Designs. Upon completion Jade took her digital art to a Logo Designer who used the portrait in her company logo which serves as an awesome banner in her space. Check out her review below.
Art as memorabilia is a great way to honor those we’ve lost. For Dezmond Williams Sr. of Akron remembering his loved one Marquis Perry has became a movement. Dezmond commissioned caricature art of Marquis as the basis for shirts that he sells referencing comedy skits they worked on together. Seeing so many people wear the artwork in remembrance of his life brings me joy. Check out more of Dezmond’s comedic content, apparel and movement here and check out his review of SylviaPaints below.
Returning business and recommendations are the most evident sign of good business and good product. Thanks Dezmond!
Inlay artwork for “The Beds We’ve Made” album by Spider the Akronaut with the picturesque Germany background. Sterling was ever so grateful for this artwork. See below.
What a review!
Taylor Williams with her Birthday portrait in 2016. It’s the joy for me ! Taylor is an artist herself so I knew she would appreciate this one.
Miss Anijah Ruple in her grandads living area. This is the only Black & White portrait I’ve done and it goes very well with the decor. But let’s be honest, Anijah is the star of this photo.
Black History Month Display at the Akron Summit County Main Library in February 2019. This display was arranged by my sister Rozsa Sykes. I was so honored that she thought of my work for the display.
Joseph with his birthday present. The painting was commissioned by his mother Patty who was a coworker of mine. Their entire family are such a great people, it was a joy to contribute to such a special gift.
Another good one of Joseph with a side-by-side of Watson and his official portrait. The cuteness is just too much.
This commission was a birthday gift for DJ who enjoys the band White Chapel as well as token cards. The format was intended to be a combination of those favorite things. I am the most impressed that the cat enjoys it! If a cat says something is good then it is, indeed, very good.
Sometimes art needs a neighbor. Anyone who knows my mom (the subject of this portrait) understands how perfect this Faith, Hope, Love sign is next to her. Even if you don’t know my mom the adjacent text art gives you a major hint about her personality and compliments the portrait perfectly.
Having art in your home does WONDERS for children who absorb everything. You can tell Peanut really enjoys the painting of his Uncle Jon. There is no way to measure how witnessing creativity is developing his young brain.
A quick turnaround time isn’t always a guarantee but receiving a masterpiece, is. (p.s. sylviashines is my personal instagram, sylviapaints is my art account).
How perfect is it that these bed sheets match the painting?? What an awesome way to add a touch of romance to the bedroom. 2018, Commissioned by my cousin Pooh for her husband and herself.
This painting was a gift for Angela Xayavong. When asked of any impressions from the artwork, Angela responded that “The painting has been a reminder to myself to appreciate the moment. I look over to it, and remember that pain is only temporary” making her nightside a perfect setting for the piece.
