Yvonne King's paintings evoke a sense of her native Irish seaside and country landscape.
I love spending time outdoors in the natural beauty of Connemara ever since I was a child growing up in Roundstone village – an artists paradise.
These paintings are my interpretation of familiar sights- mostly of Connemara, Ireland – seascapes, harbours, moonlit landscapes, cottages and water lilies dotting the small lakes on bog roads. I also enjoy travelling to paint in other countries and have had successful exhibitions in Ireland and the US.
It was a privilege to paint in the Studio of Scottish artist Douglas Anderson, Royal Painter, for 4 years – total immersion in the Old Master techniques in drawing and oil painting. I believe I could not have a better mentor.
I’m a member of Visual Artists Ireland, the South Boston Arts Association and The Design & Crafts Council of Ireland.
I’m delighted that some of my paintings were shown on RTE’s popular Nationwide programme as part of Carna Walking Club, Spaisteorí Iorras Aithneach feature.

Testimonials
“My husband and I had the unique honor to meet Yvonne in person and personally experience the beauty of County Galway, Ireland. Having been so graciously welcomed into her world while we vacationed helped me appreciate her art even more. It’s as if I can picture her at work creating the very piece that hangs in my home. Looking at her artwork instantly transports me back to the peace and tranquility that I felt during our stay in Ireland. The ethereal quality of her pieces captures the experience of being there better than any photograph.”
