My name is Yvette Rene Chadsey. I live in Santa Cruz, California. I have been painting for almost 20 years and I am a self taught artist. I started painting because I use to love to doodle with a pen when I was a child. I put every emotion that's bliss or manic in my art and you can feel it when you see my work. My paintings seem to reach people as if the painting itself has extended arms to grab you and take you right in. Art is my LIFE...MY PASSION...YOUR EXPERIENCE!
