ARTIST'S STATEMENT: YVONNE KOROTKY
SERIOUS AND PASSIONATE SELF TAUGHT ARTIST
I AM A SELF-TAUGHT PAINTER AND FORTUNATE THAT I WAS MENTORED IN 2004 BY TWO PROFESSIONAL PAINTERS. I MOST ENJOY PAINTING REALISTIC FLORALS, DOGS AND BIRDS. HOWEVER, FLORAL PAINTING IS MY FAVORITE. I HAVE DEVELOPED INTO A SERIOUS AND PASSIONATE ARTIST. WHEN PAINTING FLORALS I FEEL CONSUMED WITH ACHIEVING THE LIKENESS TO THE ACTUAL SUBJECT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO PAINTINGS ON COMMISSION.
WITH GOD'S HELP I AM CONTINUING TO WORK TOWARD MY GOAL OF BEING THE BEST PAINTER I CAN BE; STRIVING TO IMPROVE EACH TIME I APPLY PAINT TO CANVAS. I DONATE MOST OF ANY ART SALES TO HELP WHERE NEEDED...
