Born and raised in North Carolina, USA, Sydney has always had a taste for travel and wild places, becoming fascinated with language, cultural difference, origin stories, and nature exploration from an early age. She is currently based in NC after a year living in Scotland. Most recently before that, her travels took her around the US with her one and only trusty ‘96 Rav4, living nomadically for 15 months between 2022-23, in large part tent and car camping on remote lands, spending much of the time between New Mexico, Colorado, California and New York.

Sydney draws deep inspiration from her travels and our natural world, and her writing carries this cord through its center. She is an advocate for forest conservation, equal respect for all forms of being, expression as medicine and the importance of our connection to the planet. Her art inspires and empowers her audience to live authentically and find freedom inside themselves. Her words and art are vehicles to unlock the buried pieces that hold keys to our individual and collective liberation.
