One of her hyper realistic sculptures is one of the most treasured things we have. Her truly creative exhibit at the Frist at a very advanced age was amazing and an inspiration.  We have known Sylvia for nearly 40 years and seen her art develop. Her death is a true loss to Nashville and far beyond.
