bio
Carlyn Yandle's art practice interweaves a childhood steeped in West Coast counter-culture, a range of skills in traditional craft methods and her previous profession as an award-winning newspaper journalist. She finds inspiration by literally playing with ideas, often with others and by using culturally-embedded found materials.
She splits her time between Lasqueti Island and her hometown of Vancouver, B.C.
