She painted frequently with watercolours and used her art as a tool to communicate issues that were important to her. While still a young girl, Sibylle Szaggars added the environment to those important issues and began expressing her feelings about them through her painting.
As a young girl who was raised in Europe, she travelled often with family and was able to learn about the varying ways of life of people. Despite the many cultural variations, young Szaggars was able to notice a common denominator – the environment and the connection each of the varying cultures had with it.

Over the years, Sibylle Szaggars has demonstrated the effect of climate change by creating still-life paintings using silk and watercolours. In recent years, she has begun using cell-like imagery in vivid colours.
One of her works that garnered a lot of traction is the performance art piece “The Way of the Rain” The piece was inspired by her longterm interest in the yearly monsoon rains that help make life viable on the high-desert plateaus of the Southwest.
The piece debuted at her husband’s Sundance Film Festival in 2015 as an official selection. Inspired by the success of the piece, Sibylle Szaggars founded The Way of the Rain Inc., a New-Mexico based non-profit organisation which is primarily aimed at bringing awareness to more people about the dangers that modern lifestyle practices have on weather patterns and nature’s most important resource – water.
