A glass artist known for her glass Mermaids, Fairies, Angels and Floral beads as well as her innovative beadworking projects incorporating her whimsical designs and her lampworked glass beads, Sylvie Elise Lansdowne has a signature style which is easily recognizable due to it's rich use of color and intricate surface decoration.

Her artistic journey has taken her from fabric design to glass beads and jewelry design to beadweaving, project creation and instruction. The meandering continues with a new interest in mixed media art doll creation and the continual development of new creative ideas.

Sylvie's work has appeared in Cindy Jenkin's Beads of Glass as well as in A Beader's Reference by Jane Davis, Unique Beaded Projects by Lynda Musante and a feature article in Bead Unique Magazine. Projects in Beadwork and Bead Unique Magazines have also featured her beads, which have been sold to collectors both in the U.S. and internationally.

A glass instructor for the past 11 years, Sylvie enjoys teaching as an extension of her art....the ability to share her knowledge and help her students to develop their own excitement for glass. She has continued sharing this excitement for color and design teaching her beadworking projects across the country to a new group of beadworkers and designers.

Living in the metro-Atlanta area with her two boys, Sylvie works out of her home studio which is ever-filled with scraps of fabric, doodles, beads and glass rods waiting to become the next Sylviebead whimsical creation.
