Sydnie Jimenez was born in Orlando, Florida, but spent most of her childhood in north Georgia, from which she draws much inspiration. She received a BFA from SAIC (2020) focusing on ceramic sculpture and is a recipient of the Windgate-Lamar Fellowship (2020). Much of her work centers around the representation of black/ brown youth and self-expression as a form of protest and self-care to protect against a Eurocentric society founded on white supremacy and colonization.
