Using many different media – watercolour, acrylic, oil, pastel and ink – Yvonne likes to paint in series, e.g. The farm series of naïve watercolours, islands, colourful village houses, cottages, crows and flowers but always returns to the Connemara landscapes, seascapes and moonscapes.

She is a member of Visual Artists Ireland, the South Boston Arts Association and the Crafts Council of Ireland. Yvonne has taken classes with artists Kenneth Webb, Michael O’Dea and Brenda Mattson, amongst others.
