Although primarily self-taught, she has been taught and mentored by the Irish artist Philip Gray - whose work inspired her so much that she travelled to Ireland to be tutored by him. From her North Devon studio, Yvonne sells paintings worldwide, Her work has been exhibited at the Menier Gallery in London.
