Welcome to Sybil’s Paintings

My name is Sybil Fix and I am a painter of birds.

I began painting songbirds about ten years ago out of fascination for their colors and varieties and the dignified, light-footed simplicity with which they inhabit the world. I adore their joy and their song and their endearing routines.

Then, after experiencing the privilege of raising a flock of chickens, I turned my attention to those crested birds to celebrate their undeniable individuality and personality and the unanticipated love I discovered in them.

To this day I wish to free birds from the gray anonymity and invisibility to which they have been relegated by our insatiable appetites or our dulled sense of observation. And I wish to capture their undying yearning for freedom and their irrepressible chutzpah and charm.

To me birds are simply wonderful—full of wonder and beauty—and that’s what my paintings are about: to hold them, memorialize them, and honor them in a more universal way.

From one bird lover to another,
