Yvonne Leon is a Ceramic Artist, based in Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland.
Her figurative works draw people into a world of narrative that touches on the human experience. She explores emotions, intimacy, relationships and personal situations and captures that snapshot of feelings in the clay.

The figures Yvonne creates are all “in the Moment.” They are reflective in their mood and calm in thought, almost in a dream state.

Yvonne has a deep love of the sea and some of her figures reflect and explore this rich subject. She combines this with other themes, such as the protection of oneself, emotional bonds, nature and empathy with others.

Each unique figure is crafted in stoneware or porcelain and fired several times with multiple glazes. Sometimes, decals and gold lustre are used to add symbolism and a richness to the subtle human forms. Yvonne’s figures communicate solely with a tilt of their heads or a light placing of a hand, expressing deep feelings and a story that can be read by their body language alone.
