Sydney Gammel was born in 2003 in Aurora, Colorado. Gammel currently resides on the western slope in Grand Junction, Colorado. She is currently a candidate for a Bachelors of Fine Arts as a drawing concentrate at Colorado Mesa University. Growing up she was always fascinated with learning about all the secrets about humanity and the world that you weren't supposed to know. This manifested into her life through philosophical discussion with those around her, self inquiry and growth. This is where art took the wheel to communicate her truthful and authentic experience. She is heavily influenced by movements of surrealism, realism, symbolist and visionary artists uncovering the veil about this experience that inspires aspects of her work. Before creating her artworks she often gains visions of a finished product, that for her, communicates a greater lesson or message she was given about a given experience. She believes that her work will mean different lessons for different people, but it works to create deeper inquiry about how it relates to their own unique experience.
