Yvonne Dagger’s works are defined by poignant details and everyday objects that at first glance appear to be inconsequential. A black and white painting that transports you back in time is turned on its head by a one single dot of color. Tiny boxes, which on their own are meaningless, are brought together to create a larger story. A simple pair of running shoes is elevated to a work of art. Dagger’s works demonstrate how the smallest elements and most banal things, often at first ignored; can have a larger and unexpected impact on how we view life.
A Long Island native, Yvonne has always been driven by her own undeniable creativity and insatiable curiosity. However, it wasn’t until after her children were raised that she decided to follow her life long dream of becoming a professional artist. While pursuing her degree in Fine Arts at Hofstra University, she rediscovered her passion for painting. Shortly thereafter she had her first solo show and later that year won the prestigious Art of the Northeast—Prudential Wheeler Award.
Yvonne’s oil and acrylic paintings and drawings can be found in many personal collections nationally. She has shown in numerous venues all over the northeast including: Hecksher Museum in Huntington, NY; Nadejda Gallery in Newport, Rhode Island; Michael Perez Gallery in Great Neck, NY; Silvermine Museum in New Canaan, CT; Guild Hall Gallery in East Hampton, NY and Chrysalis Gallery in Southhampton, NY.
