Artist Bio - William YelfI am a young emerging artist with an interest in historical fiction, invention, mythology, maps and exploration. I use epoxy-resin, acrylic and oil paints, wax and mixed media to express a concept. I am often inspired by books and poetry as alluded to in the titles of my work. My InfluencesMy family have regailed our walls with guilded images of expensively painted hills and cows. I have learnt traditional Heidelburg school methods of art from one family member, ring forging from another and fashion/ textile design from yet another. Nevertheless, I have never felt as excited about art as I have been since discovering steam punk. I want my art to be tactile and textured, full of science and discovery and to be fun to make and fun to look at. I want it to have a deeper meaning and I want it to be reasonably priced, exciting and attractive to modern young adults. |

Have been with gallery247 for 6 years, both free and now paid. Wonderful on line platform for artists which has made my work easy to find and i don't need to worry about setting up my own website; they even forwarded a message from a community college i volunteered for a few years ago, for an art tutor.
