Get to Know Me
My Creative Journey
Originally from New York, Sylvia Kanoff is an accomplished designer and teacher who has exhibited widely and to much acclaim in the New York metropolitan area.
The innovative arts programs that she developed for non-english speaking students won an award for both herself and for Nefesh Academy, the Brooklyn-based school that she and her husband Michael started in 1991 for Jewish refugee children from the former Soviet Union.
Sylvia moved to Miami Beach in 1999 with her family when she and her husband Michael took over the renovation of The Charles Group Hotels- five oceanfront hotels that required extensive redesign and renovation. In November 2001, Michael and Sylvia Kanoff were recipients of the prestigious Mayor’s award for the beautification of Miami Beach.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about commissions, purchasing, and working with me
Commissions
Do you accept commission work?
Yes! I love working on custom pieces. The commission process typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on the size and complexity. I work closely with clients to ensure the final piece matches their vision while maintaining my artistic style.es here ..
How does the commission process work?
First, we’ll have an initial consultation to discuss your vision, size requirements, color preferences, and timeline. I’ll then create preliminary sketches for your approval. Once approved, I require a 50% deposit to begin. You’ll receive progress photos throughout the creation process, and final payment is due upon completion before shipping.
What are the commission rates?
Pricing varies based on size, medium, and complexity. Small pieces (16×20) start at $800, medium pieces (24×36) start at $1,500, and large pieces (36×48+) start at $3,000. Mixed media and highly detailed work may have additional costs. Contact me for a personalized quote.
Purchasing
How can I purchase your artwork?
You can purchase available pieces directly through my website, or contact me for inquiries about specific works. I also work with several galleries that represent my work. Payment plans are available for pieces over $2,000.
Do you offer prints of your original work?
Yes! Limited edition prints are available for select pieces. Each print is numbered, signed, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Prints are produced on museum-quality archival paper using professional giclée printing methods.
What's your return policy?
I want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. Original artworks can be returned within 14 days of delivery for a full refund (minus shipping costs). Prints can be returned within 7 days if unopened. Commission pieces are final sale due to their custom nature.
