Sylvia Moss paints in watercolor, oil, and mixed media. Bold brush strokes with thick oil paint or puddles and spatters of watercolor are characteristics of her work, allowing the texture of the materials to convey the emotion and atmosphere of the subject matter.

Her most current paintings are skyscapes. Thick paints are mixed with textural materials and applied in strong strokes. This group of paintings expresses her love of the environment and her respect for the force of nature.

Other recent paintings capture the spirit of dance. Because of her own love of dance, she has been currently working on a series of paintings representing dances such as Salsa, Swing and Tango. Her objective in these paintings is to capture the action and mood of the dance. Click here to see the dance series...
