Biography:

After her education at the academy of arts Tilburg, the Netherlands, she worked for years as a teacher in arts and art history. To improve her qualities as a painter she took lessons in 16e and 17e centuries oil painting techniques. She works with open acrylics and oils. The textile fabrics in a lot of the paintings are personal stories. Because she likes to make narrative paintings her work has to be realistic. The stories cover gender equality, social issues, art history and personal issues.

 She visualizes the Zeitgeist in her paintings

Serendipity, time and technique each play their part during the process of creating the paintings. Because of the time consuming technique it is possible to add another idea during the process. This makes a strong contrast with all the images that we are surrounded with most of the day. She uses many images to make a new more powerfull image. Most drawings often have less complicated stories and are sometimes made only to celebrate beauty.

Yvonne sees beauty as essential to art because our mind needs beauty to stay alive and vibrant. 

She is a member of the artist’s society NABK in the Netherlands.
