Yolande ARMSTRONG

After many years in Yorkshire and abroad, working in education and the arts, Yolande Armstrong moved to Helston in Cornwall. Her work explores the politics of identity, gender and labelling.

After obtaining a BA in English from the University of London, she went on to take a PGCE at the University of Bristol. This was followed by an MA in Educational Drama (Leeds University) and a Diploma in Art & Design from Bristol College of Art. In 2017 she undertook the Mentoring Programme at Newlyn School of Art.

Her work has been shown widely in the UK. In 2020 she was chosen as guest artist at the Heseltine Gallery in Truro.
