Yvonne Mora, painter, Peru, Abstraction, Matissean, Vail Fine Art Gallery, Uncrated, Colorado, Jim Tylich

Yvonne Mora was born in Lima, Peru in 1959.  In 1980 she was accepted at the Excuela Nacional de Bellas Artes and soon developed a reputation for her originality.  This originality was rewarded when she graduated with honors in 1986 and married the renowned painter William Rengifo.

Although her work was excellent, Mora had difficulty getting art dealers interested in her work because of her unique style.  However, by 1987 the growing interest of Japanese and American art dealers established her place in the art world.  In 1988 she spent three months in Japan completing commissions after the success of her solo exhibition at the Tsukuba Gallery.

Mora now lives in California where she actively pursues her artistic career.
