Artist, Yvonne Joyner, has a degree in Fine Arts from Indiana University, and has worked as a professional potter and an art teacher before discovering a passion for watercolor.
Her paintings have been shown in galleries in Scottsdale, AZ, Durango, CO and Sedona, AZ, where she has also been featured in one-woman shows and exhibitions.
Being a long time resident of Scottsdale, AZ, and an avid hiker, she enjoys painting the blooming desert, which continually inspires her. 'I will never lose my fascination with the lush Sonoran Desert - especially in the spring. I am forever intrigued by the way cactus needles and flowers capture light.'
Yvonne also enjoys painting people and pets in casual, informal settings. “Watercolor is fresh and spontaneous, and is perfect for capturing a ‘moment in time’ in an individual’s life.
She currently resides in Scottsdale Arizona.
She is a Silver Signature member of the Arizona Watercolor Association.
