Daphne Mennell-Yukon artist with works in oil, watercolor and other medias

[ A B O U T TT H EE P A I N T E R ]

Hello and welcome to the website for Daphne Mennell.

I am a Canadian artist who has lived and created art in the Yukon for over 30 years. Previous to that I have lived in Toronto Ont, Montreal Que, Banff AB, as well as the Bahamas and Wales UK.

The Yukon is my home and with every passing year I find myself becoming more and more attached to the people and the land here. I feel very grateful to be surrounded by such beauty and friendliness.

The landscapes supply endless inspiration and invitation for study which I then interpret in my artwork. I have worked in several mediums such as oils, watercolour, acrylics, silk, metal, papier mache, soapstone, and stained glass. (I still have a few on my "want-to-do list.")
I also compose piano music and teach lessons to beginners using the Suzuki method.

I have taught many art courses for interest groups in almost all the above listed mediums. Every year I organize and put on small art retreats in the Yukon or neighbouring Alaska. These retreats are casual, fun and relaxing, relatively inexpensive and open to everyone regardless of levels of art ability.

My family and I live in the Southern Lakes area fairly close to Carcross. Here I have my studio which you are most welcome to visit if you are in the area. Please call beforehand or email to make sure I will be at home and can give you more specific directions how to find us.

Enjoy your visit here!
