About Sylvia Roth
Sylvia Roth Frog at Sunset 2007
Sylvia Roth, art consultant and artist, is the founder of Hudson River Editions. Sylvia’s paintings and prints have been exhibited in galleries across the country and around the world. Among the many shows in which she has participated, particularly notable are “Pleasures from the Garden,” a traveling show across the United States sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art, and “Children in Crisis,” an international show shedding light on child victims of war. Her paintings and prints are included in numerous collections including General Foods, Mobil, Readers Digest, and the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum.
As a printmaker, Sylvia has collaborated with such vibrant, diverse and groundbreaking artists as John Chamberlain, April Gornick, Alfonso Ossorio, Stephen Greene, Grace Hartigan, Milton Resnick, Roberto DeLamonica, Richard Bosman, Karen Finley and John Beerman. She has been a visiting instructor of specialized workshops at Bennington College, Sarah Lawrence College and the University of Hartford.
Sylvia’s latest series of paintings and monotypes are born from her lifelong dedication to the environment. Her intricate and powerful portraits of animals and her unique and bold renderings of flowers, and of other plants, combine centuries-old techniques such as gold leaf application and painted, carved wood. They represent an iconic call to pay attention to the beauty of her subjects in an increasingly threatened environment.
Sylvia is uniquely informed as an art consultant, bringing both her deep knowledge of art history and education, her understanding and appreciation of the current art scene and landscape, and her creative approach to everything she does, whether as an artist in her own right or as a consultant for private and public collections.
