Sylvie du Paty du Clam, born in Normandy in 1931
She studied portrait painting for 4 years at the Atelier of the rue du Dôme, whilst at the same time studying sketching at the Grande Chaumière and the Academy Jullian in Paris.
In 1958 she started painting on porcelain, mainly producing one-off items, each signed, numbered and marked, not only full scale, but also miniatures (scale 1/12) for dolls houses.
Her paintings and folding screens, in gouache, oil or watercolours, range from miniature to panoramic,
Because she wishes to share her talent and love of porcelain painting, she devotes part of her time to teaching. The Atelier des Chevau-Légers attracts numerous pupils, certain of whom have themselves left to teach others ! She also teaches other aspects of painting.
Always wishing to measure herself against the best, she regularly participates in the professional exhibitions and shows to which she is invited. She also displays her work individually, notably in Versailles, where her workshop is situated, in France and overseas (Singapore, Thailand, Switzerland, England, Denmark, ...).
