My name is Sydney and I explore the intersection of art and science. In May of 2022, I graduated with a BFA in Ceramics at Maine College of Art & Design. In April of 2023, I completed a fellowship at Pocosin Arts in North Carolina where I created a body of work focusing on medicinal herbs. I worked as a research technician in the USDA Cranberry Genetics & Genomics Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 2024 to 2026. My goal of attending graduate school in pursuit of a Master’s in Science degree focusing on fungal biology and ecology in relation to human-caused issues and climate change has come to fruition, and I have been admitted to the University of Maine — Orono in the School of Ecology and Environmental Sciences for the Fall of 2026. https://www.sydneyberkeley.com/home daily 1.0 2026-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/9898647e-376c-46a6-a638-c2d44b5fa23c/PXL_20250728_215240206%7E2.jpg home Light microscope image of Hericium americanum (Bear's head tooth fungus) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/c29cabcc-67fc-4289-a76b-58654cf02756/PXL_20250726_230046155%7E4.jpg home Memory Box III, July 2023, mixed natural materials (recovered moth wings, flowers, leaves, lichen) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/2a225911-ffd0-4f84-bac0-682d7133b76a/PXL_20241111_223244506.jpg home In the lab doing anthocyanin extraction of Vaccinium macrocarpon (american cranberry) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/1a5fafb1-f0b5-46b4-8745-74ac32d7298c/PXL_20250726_230147650%7E3.jpg home Memory Box I, July 2023, mixed natural materials (recovered moth wings, flowers) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/c966e934-b573-4853-8932-5afdccb49c5b/PXL_20250728_215622517.jpg home Light microscope image of Hericium americanum (Bear's head tooth fungus) https://www.sydneyberkeley.com/resume-cv daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/ac98c404-80a8-4865-b798-377e1260c2ff/CV_pg_1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/23f51c57-037a-437b-b32d-23b0b1b8354f/CV_pg_2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/1c18e8e2-5b2f-4271-af0e-01253b2ce45e/CV_pg_3.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/a6a3cd58-8cd8-49f4-be6e-c50f0bcce7ae/CV_pg_4.png https://www.sydneyberkeley.com/mixedmediaand2d daily 0.75 2025-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/bd853b99-f3bf-4d2e-9966-6de9cbb1cad8/PXL_20250726_230147650%7E3.jpg illustration Memory Box I, mixed media, 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/625bb56e-6140-4368-beac-8097036584ed/PXL_20250726_230234603%7E3.jpg illustration Memory Box II, mixed media, 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/f4b7ec8c-63e8-45a6-b928-5e67815f5f9c/PXL_20250726_230046155%7E4.jpg illustration Memory Box III, mixed media, 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/29b8a3a0-72ca-4c13-93bc-5d7199d3a195/PXL_20250726_230119947%7E4.jpg illustration Memory Box IIII, mixed media, 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/e47e75d4-a662-4aec-81a7-24e1e8843d29/SydneyBerkeley-Leo-01+%281%29.jpeg illustration Leo the Bug Catcher, gouache, 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/b60db094-e91a-4fc4-b237-42b2fa0dce68/SydneyBerkeley-Leo-02+%281%29.jpeg illustration Leo the Baker, gouache, 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/3b621f26-8728-4ec2-9e43-701cd8032412/PinocchioFINAL%28jpeg%29.jpg illustration Pinocchio's Field of Wonders, mixed media & multi-layer illustration in antique cabinet, 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/0e8eb24c-ddf8-4c8d-aa53-f7548191d458/PATTERNREPEAT11x17+%281%29-min.jpg illustration Teapot Train, digital repeating pattern, 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/47ab04cc-9557-4a43-a0c7-6e979eb70abb/Screenshot_20190305-171842_2.png illustration Emperor Moth, gouache, 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/2c79c2cb-4033-452c-a688-6e4aa7555333/IMG_20190214_110238_924.jpg illustration Grandfather Mole, gouache, 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/12778bda-ae10-46fb-9710-24e974535f3e/SydneyBerkeley-ToadMerchant.png illustration Toad Merchant, digital, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/a1aea673-5f79-4f69-8d69-4ad91f5ad28f/UllaComp1.png illustration Mushroom Girl (inspired by Ulla Milbrath), digital, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/a4e374c4-0834-499c-8c60-49221cebf551/UllaComp2+%281%29.png illustration Frog Girl (inspired by Ulla Milbrath), digital, 2018. https://www.sydneyberkeley.com/ceramics daily 0.75 2023-03-05 https://www.sydneyberkeley.com/ceramics/teapots monthly 0.5 2022-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ba3778c24d94803183119/0b87ed4e-44de-47fb-ae7e-d074fdac1b5f/Clown+Edited.jpg ceramics -
