Extended Bio

Internationally acclaimed artist Yvonne Coomber creates a joyful, rainbow drenched dance around the canvas. Her pieces are held in collections nationally and worldwide. She is a renowned ambassador for the protection of wildflowers and has collaborated with many charities and organisations including The Eden Project, the BBC and The National Trust. Her work is full of raw emotion and energy. It has an untamed wildness. Speaking of her paintings she says, "I am both a romantic and a believer. I work intuitively, creating a space in which I allow the image to evolve and unravel. My practice demands that I am openhearted and it always involves risk. It is an eternal search for truth. I feel things with a burning intensity and my canvas provides a container for these huge emotions. My work sings of tumbling hedgerows, tangled meadowlands and open moorlands . It is my intention is to transport the viewer to a place that is literally saturated in joy. Where dreams are born. Highest quality oil paints are applied in a multitude of layers. The alchemy of techniques result in a prismatic jewel-like composition of rich pigments that reveal the radiance of nature, I always paint in nature and the elements, in a very direct way, dictate how and where the paint falls. Lacy ice and strong winds have as much influence on the final painting as golden sunshine and gentle breezes.I pour my heart and soul into each image and the canvas sparkle with love. Ultimately my practice is a prayer and a surrender. A place where the mystery unfolds. My paintings are a celebration of all that is good in the world." A must see!
