Yvonne Overton

Yvonne is a practising artist in the New England of New South Wales, based now in Tamworth and formerly of Moree. She holds a Fashion Teachers Certificate and a Fine Art Diploma from TAFE NSW, as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Newcastle University.

Yvonne principally works in the elusive medium of watercolour, the natural environment, whether it be landscape or fauna, is the basis of most of her work. She recently has been working on commissioned portraits, with oils the medium of her choice for this practice.

She has exhibited in many private and regional galleries, in both solo and group shows. She has been a selected finalist or winner in such exhibitions as Senses TAFE NSW, Country Energy Art Prize NSW, Mortimer Prize, Norville Prize and many local events such as Frost Over Barraba, Twin Rivers Gunnedah and Kootingal Art Show.

She is currently teaching a watercolour class with U3A Tamworth.
