Sydney Buffalow is an accomplished artist based in Washington, DC, who is passionate about sustainable art. With a background in ceramics, sculpture, and textiles, Sydney's work is characterized by her transformative techniques that give new life to discarded items and materials.

Inspired by the emotions and feelings associated with women, transformation, rebirth, and sustainability, Sydney creates unique pieces that are both decorative and expressive. Her recent digital collages series, "MOON MAMA," incorporates African wax fabric and vintage African photos of women within a lunar/celestial narrative.

Sydney's sustainable creations explore structure, imagery, and color. She covers discarded furniture and functional items in a collage of old and vintage National Geographic magazines, African fabric and recycled plastic, which are then painted and sealed with resin. The final pieces are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly.

She is best known for her functional sculptures and collages made from repurposed items, textiles, discarded materials, and other industrial detritus. Her art evokes a sense of purpose and meaning, showcasing that everything that is present has a purpose. Sydney also collaborates with local artists on various community projects, including DC Mural Art projects, that can be found in and around Washington, DC's beautified landscape. With her unique vision and sustainable approach, Sydney Buffalow is a force to be reckoned with in the world of art.
