About us

Hello! My name is Sylvia Brewster, the owner of Weldbilt Studio. I am a native Brooklynite and currently live and work in Brooklyn. I do many creative things like paint, illustrate, textile design, garden and write songs. I am influenced and amazed by the world and people around me, both the beauty and the grit and the grime. For me creating artwork ‘connects’ me. It brings me great joy and satisfaction. I hope I can pass this on to you.

Sincerely,

Sylvia
