About Me

Welcome to my creative world! I am Yvonne Marie Mendonsa, a self-taught landscape artist who’s all about capturing nature’s beauty and getting others pumped to start painting. I’m here to share my work and hopefully inspire you to pick up a brush and dive in!

My Story

I always loved arts and crafts as a child – just about anything to do with colors and making interesting things out of scrap. But as the years passed on, with academics grabbing the spotlight, these loves of mine slowly faded into the background. I then spent many years as a software developer, living in the fast-paced world of deadlines and coding and sitting at desk and looking at a computer screen for most part of my day.

This lead me to crave doing the opposite in my free time – spending time in nature and re-discovering my love for art! Eventually, I decided to switch gears and taught myself to paint by experimenting, watching YouTube videos, and just going for it. It’s been a fun ride 😊

What I’m About

I strive paint scenes that bring the peaceful vibes of the great outdoors right into my home. My mission? To make art that makes me feel like I’m standing in the middle of nature’s beauty.

I am on a learning journey myself – and I’d love to share my journey with everyone. I also truly believe anyone can learn to paint, no matter where you’re starting from.

On my website and social media, you’ll find lots of tips, fun tutorials, and behind-the-scenes peeks at how I create my art.

I’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re interested in one of my paintings, want a custom piece, or just need some tips to get started, hit me up. You can reach me right here.
