She/Her

Artist Bio

Sylvie began her creative journey as a classically trained musician, studying violin, then viola throughout her Secondary School years. Whilst she enjoyed immense success with her music, studying at Melbourne University Conservatorium and playing in many orchestras and string groups, Sylvie had a stroke at 18 years old which abruptly ended this musical journey.

After moving to Launceston in 2005, Sylvie began to explore her visual art practice, by studying at the Academy of the Arts, Inveresk. In 2014 Sylvie began mentoring other artists living with disability at Interweave Arts Association, which fostered her connection with both professional and entry level artists. Sylvie has practised art full time since 2015 and continues to contribute and engage with the creative community of Launceston through Interweave Arts, and by sharing her work on social media and her website sylviewylieart.com.au. Sylvie has an enthusiastic following on Instagram with over 100K followers with whom she has developed strong creative relations.
