About Sigrid
After 25 years in the apparel business, Sigrid has returned to her roots as an artist and print designer. Her gallery is located in the tiny artist’s colony and summer community of Rocky Neck in Gloucester, MA. Her transition from artist and entrepreneur to corporate creative director and back is a fascinating story of growth, resilience and reinvention. Today she has her hands in a variety of projects ranging from a self-published cook book, yoga/art fused inspiration retreats, speaking engagements, and ISLA beach house, her new retail venture on Rocky Neck as well as her studio art and design business.
This website (designed by Sigrid herself) is a new medium of expression for Sigrid to share her latest creations, inner revelations and dreams for the future.
