Sylvia Lee Goh (1940 - 2021, Penang) was a self-taught painter noted for celebrating Peranakan heritage in the form of still-lifes filled with Peranakan motifs, symbols and objects, self-portraits, landscapes, and portraits of women in Peranakan dress. These forms and themes are drawn out with the purpose of evoking curiosity, a sense of nostalgia, and to promote an aesthetic appreciation of the culture with her viewer. Her paternal lineage was rooted in Alor Setar, Kedah, where her great grandfather Lee Yoke Cheng was the Private Secretary to Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Mukarram Shah (1855-1879). Loo Yet Leong, her maternal great grandfather was a well known Patriarch in Pagar Tras, in the Straits Settlement of Penang. Though her artistic career began later in her life, she was a veteran artist of forty years with two solo exhibitions under her belt, both held at the National Art Gallery in 1998 and 2015. Goh took part in over seventy group exhibitions, two of which were organised by the National Art Gallery in Indonesia and Argentina. Her works have also been exhibited in Australia, China and Thailand.
