Hello, I'm Yvette Swan

ARTIST

I'm an artist, art teacher, and writer. I create abstract, landscape, and figurative paintings. I enjoy using colour, line, space and form to create from the unknown. The inspiration for my work is the freedom of life.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of NSW, College of Fine Arts, Sydney. I have worked in the film, photographic, and therapy industries. Since 2000, I have been a professional artist and have had over 50 solo and group exhibitions, including the Wynne Landscape Prize at AGNSW, Metro Prize, Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Prize, and the Art Series Leeuwin Estate Collection. My work has been part of solo and group exhibitions, art consultancy projects, art expos, art prizes, and commissioned works for corporate, design, and private clients. My paintings are included in the book Unfinished Journeys by Ken McGregor and belong to private and public collections.

TEACHING

For the past 15 years, I have been teaching art classes - exploring tools, techniques and different abstract and landscape painting styles. I enjoy interacting with people and supporting the natural joy and creativity of painting together. Learning a foundation of skills is a great way to remove the pressure so this natural joy of creation flows easily.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy my art classes here at Skillshare.
