Yvonne Ballantine

I use paint and marks to capture movement and life and to help myself and those seeing my work to look more carefully at the world around them and to discover beauty. I explore the essence of the Irish landscape in my work, with earthy tones that evoke the atmosphere, texture and rich palette that is peculiar to the land, hills, rocks and coast around the island of Ireland. My work is inspired by memory and experience, responding to the natural beauty of land, sky and sea, interpreting what I see and feel.
