Dr Sylvia Ditchburn is predominantly an en plein air painter known for her bold and colourful landscape works and her passion for the environment. Since moving to North Queensland from the Darling Downs in the 1960s, she has been inspired by the dramatic tropical environment and its ambience, vibrant colours and abundance. Ditchburn has also travelled Australia widely in search of subjects and natural environments for her works.

Ditchburn is formally trained with four degrees: a Diploma of Fine Arts, Graduate Diploma of Museum Curatorship (Distinction), Masters of Creative Arts (First Class) and a PhD at James Cook University. Ditchburn has been a judge for many notable art competitions and a tutor of en plein air workshops. She has completed residencies including at Arthur Boyd’s famous property at Bundanon, Sails on the Desert in Uluru and Redgate Gallery in Beijing. The artist has held more than 60 solo exhibitions in Australia, Russia and China and group exhibitions in Berlin, Miami, London, Paris, New York, and Budapest. Her work is held in public and private collections nationally and internationally. Ditchburn was appointed to the Qld Cultural Advisory Council to the Arts Office Minister, and she ran her own private gallery for over 11 years.
