Yvonne lives in the beautiful countryside of the Vale of Glamorgan. Inspiration for her work emanates from her love of nature and the way in which its imperfections, disregarded by most, take on a beauty of their own. Her work is inspired by the environment, both natural and man made and the weathering processes which help create rust, weather beaten decaying buildings and dead or dying plant forms. These forces of nature provide her with a constant source of inspiration.
