Born under the Greek sun, Yanna has a deep love for colour and light. Arriving in the UK aged 19 as an Architecture student (UCL), form and proportion are essential elements of her practice. Alongside formal education, Yanna took up water-based painting (acrylics / mixed media) early in life, but she discovered her true calling in 3D sculptural work and particularly glass creations. She is passionate about combining materials and producing forms through her own unique techniques.

Yanna is a member for the Contemporary Glass Society - https://cgs.org.uk/artists/neame-joanna/ -and is currently studying at West Dean towards a BA in Art and Contemporary Crafts.
