Join Yvette Ten Bohmer for an engaging mixed-media workshop for teens, exploring the theme “How I Get to School.” Using different mark-making materials, participants will focus on the human form—how bodies move, balance, and carry themselves through daily journeys. From walking and cycling to crowded buses and trains, students will observe and reimagine the physical experience of travel. Yvette’s approach encourages young artists to express motion, posture, and emotion, turning everyday routines into dynamic, personal artworks. Yvette encourages creative risk-taking and storytelling through experimental mark-making and imaginative composition.

Growing up in Newcastle, Yvette completed an Advanced Diploma of Fine Arts at Newcastle Art School. Yvette found this course to be just the beginning of her life passion in exploring creative expression through the study of the human form. Yvette went on to study a BA Fine Arts at the National Art School, Sydney. Upon completing her studies Yvette has continued to work as an artist, exhibiting regularly in Sydney and Melbourne and also working as a teacher, inspiring students to seek their own creative expression. In 2011 Yvette won the prestigious John Olsen Prize for Life Drawing.
