Peace and Quiet with Sylvia Pericles

American artist, Sylvia Pericles, illustrates womanhood in its most serene and grounded form. Her work radiates peace, quiet strength, and the kind of stillness that feels both powerful and intimate. Many of her pieces centre on women simply enjoying their own company—stretching in slow, meditative poses, wandering the beach, or tending lovingly to their plants. Each woman seems to be in no rush, fully present, fully at ease. There’s a quiet joy in it all—a reminder that solitude can be a necessary sanctuary.

Here are just a few of our favourite pieces by Sylvia Pericles.
