Sybil achieved a B.A. from the University of Toronto in Art and Archaeology, studied further in Paris and London, and holds an Art Specialist designation from the Ontario College of Education. Her 40 years of teaching art courses in painting, embroidery, and other media have made Sybil a sought-after mentor for many emerging artists.
