Yvonne Gray is an acrylic painter and print-maker who conveys impressions of places and emotions in her art-work. She pushes colour combinations and uses mark-making, figures, words and patterns to speak her narrative. She has won a Franklin Arts Festival award and has had a successful solo show at the Franklin Community Gallery. Yvonne has recently helped establish the Hibiscus Coast Printmakers Group that holds informative workshops. She is also involved with the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa where she volunteers and regularly exhibits her work.

Yvonne is thrilled to have won the Merit Prize for Painting in the 2021 Estuary Arts Members Merit Awards.
