Charlottesville, VA. She received an MFA in painting
from James Madison University in 2006. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections and
has been featured in a variety of publications and
exhibitions throughout the US including Virginia
Museum of Contemporary Art. She was awarded a
professional fellowship in painting from Virginia
Museum of Fine Arts and has twice been a fellow at
the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Boyts
Yoder has also been awarded an artistic residency
at 100W Corsicana in Corsicana, Texas, her home
state, each year since 2017. In 2019 she had her first
international exhibition in Sydney, Australia. Boyts
Yoder is represented by Page Bond Gallery in
Richmond, VA, by Show & Tell Art & Design in
Charleston, SC, and by BluePrint Gallery in Dallas,
TX.
Boyts Yoder uses cartoonish iconography, occasional text, and collage materials simultaneously, creating a complex and textured painterly surface. Situated squarely in the realm of painterly abstraction, her works demonstrate the creative process as both content and journey. Listening becomes as important as doing, the viewer is invited in as interpreter, and the resulting images are playfully open-ended.
A multitude of associations and experiences springs from these images. A trove of possible meanings explores the imagination’s
capabilities, questions what painting can be, dreams of the unseen and illuminates the potential for human connection that exists in
these questions.
Wescover has transitioned to an inquiry only platform.
