BUT also, the key thing about us sitting together today was the last time we spoke, she was going to make a list to MAKE a list, and it just didn't happen.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Sydney Paige Richardson grew up in southeast Texas. She spent her childhood exploring the woods on her grandmother’s property, taking pictures with disposable cameras she saved her allowance for, and making up stories in her head of fairies, magical portals, and other worlds that always appeared in her dreams.

Always knowing she was a creator at heart, Sydney explored digital photography in 2009 and fell in love. She devoured every online tutorial she could and taught herself Photoshop and how to work her first DSLR. She began exploring nature with friends and family as her models, creating conceptual portraiture to bring her fantastical worlds to life visually.

At her core, Sydney is a creator, a storyteller. Her work focuses on her emotional responses to occurrences in life. Her goal is to create work that explores emotions, bends reality, and creates new worlds. She primarily shoots in her backyard or fields near her house. In Photoshop, she composites the subject into worlds by piecing together other photographs she has taken. For her, it’s like building a puzzle that only she knows how to finish. She creates other realms through this conceptual portraiture and adds textures to give each piece a painterly, timeless feel. Her work allows others to dive into a story, reflect on the beauty of emotions, and discover the magical possibilities of where our minds can take us.

Sydney resides in the Austin, Texas area with her husband, two sassy kids, her sister, and three slightly oversized cats.

Join me on today's episode where we have a unqiue story of how her 4 year old had ovarian cancer and she had to navigate communication with a small child about their body. This, along with her background (upbringing) and an encounter with assault at a young age - led her to a business to discuss bodies, shame-free communication and what it is like to live in these modern days where we still hide from certain topics of discussion. Join me and Alisha as we dive into her personal story and a big ol tattoo that really just started as a coverup! Re-heat your coffee and let's go!
