Yanny Petters
Botanical Artist
My work is inspired by the minutiae of nature. I explore the detail, colour and form within the realm of plants and their environment. My wish is to share with the viewer my fascination with the beautiful and bizarre in a world which we all too easily take for granted.
Yanny Petters
Yanny Petters is a botanical portraitist from County Wicklow in Ireland. She works exclusively from life, either in her studio in Glendarragh, Newtownmountkennedy, County Wicklow or out in the midst of her subject's habitats. Yanny paints in a variety of media, including oils and water colours, and she produces exquisite drawings and fine art nature prints. She also specialises in Verre Églomisé, or painting on glass, an old and rare technique she has been developing and adapting to suit her plant portraits since her years working as a sign writer in the 1980s. Her paintings are in a number of important collections including the Dr. Shirley Sherwood Collection at Kew Gardens, London, and the Office of Public Works in Dublin. She is a member of the Irish Society of Botanical Artists and the Water Colour Society of Ireland.
