Having had a great love for drawing and painting from early childhood, it is no
wonder that Yvonne Tubell Shahoud has had such a versatile career in the art
field. Her talents have taken her through many different phases as a
professional artist.
Yvonne learned early in her career, that the more versatile you are in your
skills, the greater your chances are for success. She has mastered not only fine
art techniques, such as painting in the mediums of watercolor, oil,
pastel, and acrylic, but also commercial art techniques, such as hand
illustration in pencil, ink line drawing, ink wash, designer's gouache,
watercolor, and acrylic. She is also experienced in the computer graphics
programs, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Quark Express.
Prior to Starting her own business, Mural, Mural on the Wall, Inc.
in 1996, Yvonne devoted 23 years of her career to the field of Commercial
Illustration. She freelanced as a fashion illustrator for such department store
chains as Burdine's, Jordan Marsh, J.C. Penney Co. and Jefferson Stores (a
division of Montgomery Ward). While freelancing for these businesses, she also
held a full time job for 17 years as Senior Illustrator for Levitz Furniture
Corporation. Her hand rendered illustrations of furniture and rooms settings
were printed nationwide in Levitz's newspaper ads.
Portrait painting was Yvonne's first love. Since childhood she devoted long
hours of practice to this skill. She has the ability to achieve a remarkable
likeness of her subjects, and seems to capture their personalities in her work
as well. She has studied portrait painting under world-renowned portrait
painter, Daniel Greene. Throughout her professional career, she has
supplemented her income as a portrait painter.
Now, as owner of Mural Mural on the Wall, Inc. Yvonne has painted dozen
of murals for private home owners, schools, restaurants and other places of
business. Her past skills as an illustrator are brought to light as well in her
murals, and due to this extensive background, the quality of her work speaks
for itself. Realistic painting and trompe l'oeil effects fool the eye to
the delight of the viewer. If you are interested in having a highly
professional job done, you will very likely be pleased that you have chosen
Yvonne to paint for you.
Yvonne lives in Tamarac, Florida and works in the south Florida area.
