Yanny Petters
Yanny Petters is a botanical portraitist from Co. Wicklow. She works exclusively from life, either in her studio in Glendarragh, Newtownmountkennedy, or en plein air among her subject's habitats. She paints in a variety of media, including oils and watercolours. She also specialises in Verre Églomisé, or painting on glass. She has been developing and adapting this historic technique to suit her plant portraits since the 1980s when she spent time working as a sign writer.
Her paintings are in a number of public collections including the Dr Shirley Sherwood Collection, Kew Gardens, London, and the Office of Public Works, Dublin. She is a member of the Irish Society of Botanical Artists (ISBA), the Water Colour Society of Ireland, and the Dublin Painting & Sketching Club.
