Yvonne Kennedy, known as VonnyK, lives on the Redlands Coast, east of Brisbane. The surrounding birds, flora and sea life have sparked Yvonne’s love of bright colours. Through the use of acrylics, inks and impasto she strives to capture the vibrant energy and magnificent colours that abound in Australia.
Her paintings range from the demure and ethereal to the wild and energetic, whilst obsessively trying to find the right balance between the abstract and realism.
