My Miniature Art Gallery Get in touch During the period of lockdown in 2020, I created My Miniature Art Gallery. Tiny art kits that can be used at home to create your own miniature masterpieces and gallery exhibition. From these very small beginnings other things come into being. This is what I call small but infectious ideas. Watch the little film below to see how the ideas grew when others began to play and create. The My Miniature Art Gallery project packs were used by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust , Safety Net Brighton and the Arc Centre in Stockport . You can still join in!

Brighton Folk from Yvonne J Foster's 'Ice Cream Artworks' series Brighton Folk Get in touch if you are interested in commissioning a portrait Ice Cream Artworks The Ice Cream Artworks are inspired by the illustrative style of the early 20th Century, especially the work of artist Coles Phillips, known for his stylish images and signature use of negative space. In 1908 he launched his “Fadeaway Girl” style used in advertisements and magazine covers. In the Brighton Folk series the images become more detailed, with greyscale instead of skin tone and muted colour backgrounds. Lila Vaughan Laurence Becky

The beginning of a love affair with Museum research. A Fascination with Museum Labels Through Yvonne's work in Arts for Health and Wellbeing, and her interest in Museums and Collections, she attended an online event summit with Museum Next . From this she became aware of Screen South’s project supporting disabled people leading in museums. Curating for Change - a groundbreaking project with 16 D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent curatorial Trainees and Fellows, working in museums across England to uncover new stories in collections. The short film below is an edited and updated version of the application she created for the first round of curatorial fellowships organised by Curating for Change, in partnership with the Horniman Museum .

'Drawing Insight' a collaborative project with Outside In and Chichester University Drawing Insight Drawing Insight: a collaborative project supported by Chichester University and Outside In funded by Arts Council England in 2017. Three artists were selected to participate in the Insight project; Deborah Petch and Rachel Redfern , recent graduates of the MA Fine Art programme at the University of Chichester and Yvonne J Foster, a Brighton based Outside In artist. Rachel worked in the capacity of project facilitator. The aim of the Insight Partnership was to bring together artists from different creative backgrounds in order to experience each other's ways of working, learn from each other and explore the connection between arts and health. The collaboration culminated in an exhibition at Pallant House Gallery in March 2017 and at The Regency Town House Autumn Exhibitions in September 2017, and included a series of public talks and practical workshops.
