Contemporary Plant Portraits by Yvonne Marie Arnsdorf
Welcome to my website
Please select the type of artwork or information you are interested in from the pages listed on the left. Several of my paintings have now been digitised and are available as high quality Giclee prints and greetings cards (see online shop).
You will find that I tend to paint bold plants in bold colours and often find myself painting subjects larger than life-size, perhaps in an attempt to make the viewer study the subject more closely than they would do normally. There is a strong design element to many of my paintings and I particularly enjoy the creative process of arranging the composition.
The myriad of life-forms gracing this planet are my inspiration and painting them gives me the chance to 'stop and stare'.
