Yvonne Coleman-Burney

I am a native of California and a self-taught artist who is passionate about collaging, the organic flow of torn paper elements, street art, and the Universe. The delicacy and strength of being a woman, the many situations we rise from, and the colors and beauty of the world around us are the essence of my inspirations. I am considered a mixed media collage artist by vocation, sometimes a digital collage to create my work.

My first love is what is seen as street art, but to me, it’s the urban stories of my life's journey. I grew up in the city of Los Angeles, California, looking at graffiti walls and torn posters. To me, it spoke of possibilities and dreams. I am devoted to exploring the many possibilities that are always available with a keen eye and open imagination using a creative force.

I have a few areas of art in which I work, the Women in Bloom collection, and my mixed media paper collages which are the deplication of my culture and this is where I use my experiences to exercise my voice and express emotions from the past and present in which to tell my stories of her life and my travels as a US Veteran are where I am most passionate using the influence of the city of Los Angeles my inspirational people in the art world that I vibe with are Basquiat and Picasso.

I hope to leave my mark in the world of art, which is my unique footprints that are unforgettable and tell memorable stories.
