BROOKLYN, N.Y.—When Sylvia Parker Maier displays her art work at the “Formation” show at the renowned Bernaducci Meisel Gallery in New York City on Jan. 12, 2017, art industry aficionados will get an opportunity to witness her oil paintings which reflect the culmination of a brilliant career and a young woman’s lifetime passion for the arts—an interest that began as a child in her native Manhattan, N.Y., digs.
As the sole child of a bi-racial marriage, her African American father worked as a professional musician and composer of R&B music, while her mother of Argentine descent was a poet and a classically-trained pianist. Though her parents split when she was just 11, they ensured that she was able to pursue her artistic passion by having her study at such famed institutions such as the School of Visual Art, The National Academy of Design and the New York Academy.
As a youth, she likewise studied at the acclaimed Art Students League of New York with notable figures like Ron Sherr and Harvey Dinnerstein. She earned the prestigious Greenshield Award and other merit scholarships during her formative years.
Though she continuously works toward ultimately becoming the proverbial household name—Maier is already a recognizable entity among her peers.
