Art, Design, and Everyday Joy

Artist and designer Sydney Falkner is redefining how we live with art W hat began as a passion for painting and interior design has blossomed into By Syd, a multifaceted brand that blends fine art, design, and storytelling into one vibrant experience. At its heart is Sydney Falkner, a Wilmington-based artist and designer whose work blurs the lines between fine art and everyday life. Her signature? A colorful, joyful aesthetic that moves fluidly between mediums—from large- scale paintings to wearable art and home textiles, all showcased in her working studio and living gallery, By Syd Studio. “Art should reflect your story, whether it’s something you wear, something in your home, or something you give to someone you love,” says Falkner. “That’s really what By Syd is all about: connecting with art in a way that feels personal and joyful.” Housed in a former Coca-Cola bottling facility, By Syd Studio blends old and new with vintage elements original to the building enlivened by Falkner’s fresh and expressive work. Falkner is an accomplished interior designer and lifelong painter, and the full range of her creative vision comes to life in a space that feels both elevated and welcoming: a three-dimensional expression of the By Syd ethos.

“When I’m working with an interior designer, a homeowner, or someone walking into the studio for the first time, it’s always about connection,” Falkner explains. “Every piece has a story, and that connection between people and art drives me.” Whether visitors are seeking a large canvas or a small, giftable piece, Falkner’s goal is to share something less tangible as well.

The sky is the limit.”
