A native of Baton Rouge and long-time resident of Bayou Corne, Sylvia moved to  Hammond in May, 2012 to be closer to her two sons and seven grandsons.   While she misses the beauty of the bayous, Hammond offers a new range of  subjects to explore.  She’s familiar with most mediums but prefers to work in oils and specializes in Louisiana landscapes.  Her style is  realism. Sylvia retired from the 19th Judicial District Court several  years ago after a long and varied career that took her around the world—camp counsel during college, an engineering aide with NASA at Redstone Arsenal, to a  Peace Corps Volunteer in Ethiopia. An author of seven published books  and two more under contract for release later this year and the first of next  year, Sylvia shares her painting time with her computer. If you like historical  fiction, romantic suspense, inspirational, and cozy mysteries, please give her  novels a try.  All of them are available in print and electronic books from  her publishers and are on the web for the Nook and Kindle.  You can visit  her website for more information and to read excerpts and reviews.  While  there, be sure to tour her art gallery.  www.sylviarochester.com. A  past member of the River Region Art Association, Sylvia has participated in many shows, art marts, and has instructed classes in oil painting.  She holds a B. S. from L.S.U. in the college of arts and sciences with a concentration in art and English.
