YVONNE BELLAMY: Born in Liverpool, Yvonne Bellamy currently lives in Sheffield. After spending thirty years working in the health profession as a Podiatrist, Yvonne decided to turn her love of art into a full time career. She retired from the health profession in 2012 and converted her surgery to a much loved art studio. Working in oils, Yvonne specialises in female portraits from the Art Deco period. The body of work featured in the Summer Exhibition comes together to form a study of Tamara de Lempicka; an homage to one of Yvonne’s favourite and most influential sources of inspiration, and one of the most memorable artists of the Art Deco movement. Yvonne said: “On moving to Sheffield from Liverpool in the fifties, I excelled at arts and crafts at school and desperately wanted to go on to art college. But things being as they were back then I had to get a ‘proper job’, and so followed a career in the health profession. “I now have the time to indulge myself in my passion for my art once again – my inspirations come from my love of classical artworks, fashion, design and the theatre.”
