Joyful, soft and colorful are three words one could use to describe M. Sydney Osborn's paintings. Mostly working from subconscious imagery, her paintings are spontaneous and dream-like. To her the pleasure in painting comes from trying to create a feeling rather than a picture.

Primarily self taught, she comes from a long line of artists. She has lived in New York City for over 20 years and is originally from the Boston area. Besides painting she has worked as an actress, writer, director, and personal trainer.
