Yvonne Maximchuk, Acrylic and Watercolor Artist, Author, Pioneer, Naturalist
Yvonne Maximchuk, born in Bralorne B.C. 1952 has been a working artist her entire life. Her subject material and style vary due to the vast array of subjects to paint and ways to paint them. The magical and infinite material found in the inlets and islands of the Broughton Archipelago has created a lifetime of landscape, seascape, wildlife and garden painting opportunities. Her mastery of expressive watercolor has been the mainstay of her artistic endeavors but painting acrylic on canvas and ceramic studies are not far behind. Three kilns at SeaRose Studio provide for the creation of a diverse array of ceramic ware including Crystalline glazes, Raku and high-fired porcelain tableware.
