New art exhibition in GFG next week

The latest exhibition of art in the Good Food Gallery opens next week and will feature the work of Yanny Petters, writes Brian Byrne.

Yanny Petters has been painting exquisitely detailed portraits of wild plants since the 1990s. As well as working in watercolours and oils Yanny also specialises in ‘painting on glass’, a technique she has been developing since her signwriting years.

She teaches watercolour painting and drawing from nature and the purpose of her work is to raise awareness of the wonders of nature and especially the wild plants of Ireland.

Yanny has had many successful exhibitions since 1995 in Ireland and in London. She will speak about her work at the official opening of the exhibition on Thursday night.
