Hello! My name is Yvonne… I am an artist, wife of a surfer/board shaper, and mother of two teenage boys, and an Alaskan Husky named ‘Hailey”. My family and I moved to Vancouver Island from the mainland in 2007. My love of the old growth forests, the ocean, its amazing coastlines, and the rest of God’s beautiful creation here on Vancouver Island, is the inspiration for my paintings. I enjoy working with vibrant, ‘happy’ acrylic colours, blending in curves to portray the essence of each piece. I hope that my artwork will bring Light, joy and hope to those who see it.

Artist Statement:
 
My purpose for this series of paintings is to create an expression of the dynamism of the human spirit (represented by the circle), as it navigates a journey through the experience of life (represented by the blocks). The black line surrounding all objects signifies the great mystery that holds things together, and yet separate from each other, creating a perfectly imperfect motif of existence and what one makes of it.
 
Artist Biography:
 
Born, raised and still happily living on the west coast of British Columbia, I've been making art for over fifty years and have focused the last 25 years on painting miniature landscapes. I enjoy the technical challenge of creating the "Grand View" in a tiny format and the many adventures I've had in nature while studying the landscape. And now, in addition to miniature painting, I'm enjoying an adventure of a new kind; reflecting on the curious nature of internal landscapes and what existential aspects of them might look
