About the Artist
Sibet is a first generation American born of German and Hungarian parents. Born in Southern California with time spent living in Maui over the last 37 years, solidified her love for the nature found along the shore and in the sea, which is predominantly expressed in her art. She holds an M.A. from the University of San Diego. In addition to being a professional artist, Sibet is also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Reiki practitioner. The flow of energy and emotion provides constant inspiration, challenge and creative connection. Using mainly acrylics, Sibet enjoys the flow and freedom of that medium and its ability to change easily, often seeing a painting being reborn and reinvented before her eyes prior to completion.
Artist Statement
“For me, art has to do with connection—to a feeling, a person, a special place, an animal, a dream, even one’s own spirituality. The power to create holds both an exhilarating freedom and a deep vulnerability.
The creation of every piece begins with thoughtful focus of perception and sensory memory; a sentimental journey returning to that instant in time. It is the most personal display of self and emotion.
It is a gift to me when the viewer’s emotion is also stirred; because for a brief moment, that person and I are connected as well.”
