Yvonne
is a Queensland artist who lives and paints at Mt. Glorious, near
Brisbane. She began exhibiting in 1981 and since then has maintained
a consistently strong painting practice and exhibition schedule.
Her most distinctive paintings are the ‘grass series’
oil works, begun in 2004. This series is concerned with the
colour, structure and movement of grass, and the relationship
between areas of where grass has once been and where grass is
now travelling to. Yvonne has won multiple awards, including
the 2006 Flying Arts Regional Art Award, the 2004 Warwick
Art Prize and the 2003 and 1998 Redcliffe City Council
Art Prize. She was also a finalist in both 2009 and 2010
Tattersall’s Club Art Prize. Her works are currently
held in private and public collections both in Australia and overseas,
including in Parliament House, Canberra, and University of the
Sunshine Coast.
