YVONNE’S work runs the gamut from children’s books and postage stamps to posters and record sleeves.
Her love of Fairy Tales and history combined has resulted in the design and illustration of many books for the top publishers worldwide. Amongst her many other commissions she has designed three sets of postage stamps for Royal Mail, (her 1984 nativity winning ‘The World’s Most Beautiful Stamp’ and the ‘Golden Stamp Award’), and Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s ‘Relax’ album cover.
Her originals are held in many private collections including those of Arnold Swartzenneger and the late H.R.H. Princess Margaret.
