Sybil Archibald holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in medieval spirituality from New York University and trained extensively in traditional sacred arts including Russian Icon painting at the School of Sacred Arts in Manhattan. Her artistic practice builds on the foundational knowledge, learned from sacred art traditions, that creation is a spiritual act. Archibald’s artwork is a record of the deep spiritual changes caused by confronting long-term illness. She believes that change for the good is possible in every life. This view informs her life and work. Archibald’s art has been shown nationally and internationally in museums, galleries and universities including the Montclair Art Museum, Monmouth University, and Rutgers University. She currently works out of her light-filled studio, surrounded by her family, two dogs and 12 koi, in South Orange, New Jersey.
