Yvonne Villeneuve

Yvonne Villeneuve is a Toronto artist who specializes in enamel jewellery, art and bowls.  Her work is abstract expressionism using glass and metal instead of paint and canvas. Her love of colour is expressed in simple, abstract, vividly hued designs.  She first learned silversmithing and stone work at the Kingston Lapidary and Mineral Club and went on to graduate from the George Brown Jewellery program in Toronto.  Her work has been displayed at galleries and exhibitions in Canada and published by Lark Books.  She began her business, Torched Studio, in 2009.
