YVETTE WEIJERGANG
Since getting her Master’s Degree in art, Yvette Weijergang has been working at numerous places — mainly with adults, as a teacher, and as a mentor. In 1996, she moved from Amsterdam to the US, where she continued her work in several art centers. The place which had the most influence on her own work was Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts in Minneapolis, where Weijergang worked with adults with physical and mental challenges. She experienced Minneapolis as a place so diverse in art; so pure and original.
Currently, Yvette teaches at the Lillstreet Art Center, mentoring other artists and continuing to work on her own paintings and drawings in her studio. Yvette’s work has been shown over the years in many galleries. At the moment, both the Chicago Art Source Gallery and Connect Gallery in Hyde Park feature her work.
