Elyssa Sykes-Smith | Artist

Elyssa Sykes-Smith is an interprofessional artist based between London and the Shoalhaven, working across sculpture, installation, public art, performance, education, and health research. Her multidisciplinary practice explores the relationship between art, psychology, and the sciences—transforming complex emotional and psychological states into multisensory experiences in the built and natural environment. Through dynamic sculptural forms that appear in motion, Elyssa creates works that animate space, inviting audiences to experience their environment from new perspectives.

Working in partnership with institutions, companies, and communities, Elyssa develops public artworks, exhibition, socially engaged initiatives, and participatory projects that connect art with everyday life. Her practice is grounded in collaboration, research, and education, seeking to deepen human connection, foster wellbeing, and advocate for social and environmental care through the transformative power of art.
