Yolande C Spagnolo

Illustrative arts and crafts. I am currently based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Hail from England , born in South Africa. I love drawing, painting and other types of mark making so much. So far I have illustrated onto paper, canvas, wood, textiles, candles, fondant cake (I’ve always enjoyed baking same as my Mamma and sister, so this is so fun), and the list goes on… Now that our little one is a toddler, I am starting to have time again for my work and am looking forward to making, making and more making. Recent Education: 2015 Graduate with BA(Hons) Illustration from University of the Arts London. 2012 Level 3/4 Art & Design from Telford College of Art & Technology 2011 Level 2 Art & Design with Distinction* from Telford College of Art & Technology
