Don’t Forget About Me, Sklyar Sypher, Colored Pencil
Artist Statement
Hello, my name is Skylar Sypher. I am a Deaf artist. I was born in Ukraine and my parents adopted me when I was 3 years old. I started attending the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind when I was in middle school and later graduated in 2014.
I have found my passion for art and for almost three years, I have been focused on my artwork. I use colored pencils, soft pastels, and oil paint. My artwork has a story. Within my artwork, you will see my emotions and feelings and my natural instinct to connect spirits to people and animals. My emotions help me to portray the messages into art.
Some of my artwork is positive and some is sorrowful. Other pieces of my art can help you determine how you may feel or help you figure out what you see. I feel alone, like no one is here for me. I know the spirits and the angels are forever by my side. Once you are born unto this earth, they will never leave you. Your friends and family will also support you. You must remember to love yourself. Animals can be spirits who come to visit you and remind you of your loved ones who have passed away.
