Sasha Wyrick

Sasha Wyrick is a painter and mixed media artist based in Silver Spring Maryland. As a magna cum laude graduate of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, she has spent decades refining a practice grounded in artistic expression, craftsmanship, structural complexities, and a deep reverence for the natural patterns that shape our world. Her fascination began as a small child as creative expression through art has always been near and dear to her.

Her profound love of animals in nature has been inspired by the different environments that she’s lived in. She considers her true home to be Jamaica, where she often stayed as a child with her mother and grandparents. When living in the southwest, she made paintings with sand and other materials collected from the desert landscape. No matter where she is, Sasha sees beauty in all living things and finds meaning in sharing what she sees.

In her work, Sasha takes on the patient process of building up an image over time using paint, mixed media, and personally sculpted creations to create a dramatic three-dimensional effect.
