About Sybil

Ninety-four year old Sybil Rampen is a cornerstone in the Canadian fibre art world, ensuring there is recognition of contemporary fibre art in this country.   A humble, yet talented artist in her own right, Sybil has encouraged and inspired emerging artists with her generous spirit and her experimental approach to artmaking.  She has built a thriving art centre, The Joshua Creek Heritage Art Centre, on the beautiful nature-filled grounds of her ancestral home in Oakville, Ontario.  Sybil’s vision, determination, generosity, experimentation and dedication to fibre art, combined with her exceptionally positive outlook provides the recipe for Sybil’s full and successful life.

Connections Fibre Artists feel fortunate to have known, and worked with Sybil.  Sybil is an exhibition of contemporary fibre art focussing on Sybil Rampen’s life.  Participating artists have chosen some aspect of Sybil they admire, are grateful for, are inspired by, or identify with in some way.
