Description
CCAC’s February Featured Artist on the Wilmington Art Loop is Ameerah York-James, also known as Sylone. Her work will be on display in the Edward Loper, Sr. Gallery.
“Sylone” is the visual representation of finding one’s sense of individuality and learning how to grow. Each piece incorporates “Sylone” as various significant spiritual markings and shapes. This show is designed so each soul gravitates towards what resonates with them as individuals.
York-James is an established Delaware artist from Atlanta, Georgia. Ameerah is a 2020 graduate of Mount Pleasant High School. She is the former lead apprentice of Cityfest Arts Work; a former intern of Christiana Cultural Arts Center; and the Sold Firm Art Gallery. Art has been in her life since she was a very young child, and she uses it as a remedy to relieve her past and present emotions.
Her media consist of acrylics, watercolor, oil, pastels on canvas, and textured paper. Her inspiration is extracted from music and visual artists like Basquiat and Victor Bregeda.
