The painter and graphic artist Sylvia Penther attended the Graphic Teaching and Research Institute in Vienna from 1911 to 1914 and from 1916 to 1917 and then studied from 1919 to 1921 at the Vienna School of Applied Arts with Wilhelm Müller-Hofmann, Franz Cizek and Erich Mallina. She published mostly self-printed small graphic series and handwritten books. She also designed more than fifty bookplates, mainly in the woodcut technique. She was a member of the Association of Female Artists in Austria. As a painter, she created landscapes and still lifes in oils and watercolors and, from the 1940s onwards, worked primarily with encaustic, an old wax painting technique. Works by her can be found today, e.g. at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna.
