About Yvonne Johnstone
Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
