Public Art
Placemaking that puts down roots
Roots of Our Community, created for the 50th anniversary of the Willy Street Co-op, layers metallic roots and neighborhood figures into a reflection on food, connection, and place. Sanctuary, made possible by a downtown enhancement grant from the city, covers a building in Eau Claire, Wisconsin with cranes soaring above a peaceful wetland and is a celebration of the thriving ecology of the area.
Developed in partnership with local organizations, both murals celebrate shared identity and community pride. Through color, storytelling, and thoughtful placemaking, they transform everyday walls into landmarks that reflect the people, histories, and shared experiences that make a place feel like home.
Commercial Murals
PepsiCo partnership
Sylvia's largest commercial relationship started with one break-room wall and grew, director to director, into six murals for PepsiCo across their Eau Claire and Burnsville facilities, spanning sales, distribution, and production spaces. The work turns plain interior walls into the spaces people point out to visitors: local landmarks, brand history, and color that holds up under office light. Commercial commissions begin at a four-figure floor and scale with the wall.
About
Sylvia Hecht
I create large-scale work rooted in the belief that art can shift how a space feels to move through and inhabit. Every mural begins with listening to the environment it will inhabit: the architecture, the quality of light, the people passing through it each day, and the story already embedded in the space. I work with saturated color, metallic paints, and reflective elements to create pieces that hold presence from a distance while continuing to reveal new layers through movement, light, and closer observation.
Over the past nine years as a muralist, this approach has carried across a wide range of environments globally, from neighborhood placemaking projects to large corporate interiors. My largest ongoing commercial collaboration expanded organically from one connection into six murals for PepsiCo across their Eau Claire and Burnsville facilities, spanning sales, distribution, and production spaces. Public commissions including Sanctuary and Roots of Our Community were created through collaborative processes with the communities connected to them. My large street art murals have received multiple awards and numerous features in regional press.
