Biography
Yvonne’s first language was Spanglish as she was living in South America but her mother only spoke English. She has lived on three different continents. She has always loved art and specifically glass since she was a little girl. It’s sparkly, transparent yet full of color and reflects the light- what’s not to like?! Yvonne appreciates glass more than diamonds. Really. Melting diamonds in front of a torch is a bad thing. Putting them in a kiln isn’t a good idea either. So where is the fun in diamonds? She drives her husband crazy because she sees everything as art. And you CAN”T throw art away. When Yvonne does throw something away she makes a point of announcing it to her husband Dennis, because she loves to see him smile. She feels blessed that he supports her passion for art. She began her career as a full time glass artist in 2004. Yvonne creates both glass jewelry and wall art/ sculpture. Currently the Noyes Museum in Oceanville, NJ has a piece of her sculpture on loan [until July 2009]. She has recently been recognized as a NJ Emerging Artist and will have a solo show at the Monmouth Museum in March 2009. She is constantly exhibiting and sells from multiple galleries, museums and boutiques in the Tri State area. Yvonne feels her art reflects her life. She loves organic, asymmetrical shapes and sacred geometry. “My art is imperfect. I am an imperfect being striving for authenticity in my day to day life. Humor is vital to me. Art imitates life- not perfectiy square or round, often not symmetrical. I am drawn to sacred geometry in art, such as what is seen in Celtic Art and Mandalas. As this is what I find beautiful – it is what I strive to achieve.” Yvonne has had some formal training, in 2003 she joined the Glass Art Program at Salem Community College, Carney’s Pt, NJ where she was on the Dean’s List and Urban Glass, Brooklyn, NY; but she is mostly self taught. She has a BS from Indiana University, Bloomington, in Interior Design. She volunteers for many art and non art related entities. She founded and is President of TRACx81, Toms River Artists’ Co-operative Exit 81, A NJ Non Profit Corporation.
