Gallery representation: Washington, Works on Paper; Artery 717;The Meroe Gallery; Wohlfarth Gallery; and Museum of Contempary Art; Daily Original Online Gallery.
Her interest in art stems from her fascination of the human body as a whole. Her medium is oil, and egg tempera. After 15 years of painting nudes and portraits she has become fascinated with nature and how it relates to humanity. She says, '...the transfer of an image to canvas begins from the process of having the ability to capture the spirit of a person or object being observed. ...the person's soul shines through the process of capturing the light and dark areas. Art allows me to travel into all realms of possibility. As I look at my life, I have found that I have always chosen ART...' Please contact her for viewings and/or visit her website, www.yessy.com
