Legacy

Follow sculptor/woodworker Sylvie Rosenthal’s work: www.sylvierosenthal.com

You will see motifs, artfully rendered, that look familiar. Here ramshackle houses rise from the back of a serene and elegant ram. The houses could have been built here. They were. Sylvia was a student and apprentice who helped develop our workshop’s style, form, and vision.
