Dorian Sylvain is a painter whose color and texture explore ornamentation, pattern and design as identifiers of cultural and historical foundations. She is a studio painter and muralist, as well as an art educator, curator, and community planner. Much of her public work addresses issues of beautification, inspired by color palettes and patterns found throughout the African diaspora. Core to her practice is nurturing the next generation of “Cultural Keepers” to elevate neighborhood aesthetics and foster shared understanding.
