Sylvie Donmoyer

Welcome to the portfolio of Sylvie Donmoyer, a free lance illustrator and professional painter.

As a self taught artist, I have been involved in the visual arts all my life and have developed a wide variety of techniques ranging from airbrush and oil paint on canvas to 2 and 3D techniques.

My specialty is pairing the precision of the scientific illustrator with the imagination of the professional artist.

Painting

As a painter, an early fascination for the Flemish Primitives lead me to Amsterdam and through the Dutch Golden age to Escher.

The exploration of the visual side of Mathematics started with the encounter with mathematician Jean Pedersen at Santa Clara University, CA.
