About the Artist

Yarrow is a visual and performance artist with a dedication to botanical life and the unseen world. She is fascinated with intricate details, where creation is a process of transformation, transmutation, and connection to unseen realms. 

A Seattle Native, she studied classical drawing and painting from 2018 - 2019 with Tenaya Sims at the Georgetown Atelier. This followed over a decade of coursework and involvement at the Gage Academy. She has since moved on from oil painting to watercolor, and began to specialize in botanical subjects. May 2022, she was featured in a gallery show at Yvette Endrijautzki’s Nautilus Studios in Wuppertal, Germany.

In 2019, Yarrow began to study, and later to collaborate with dynamic duo Katrina Wolfe and Joey Largent in the vast worlds of butoh, improvisation, deep listening and transformation. She has also collaborated with Norwegian organist Eivind Gerdalen Vonen for several years. She has participated in ensemble performances in Seattle organized by artists Ian Gwin, Noel Kennon and Jess Jones.

She has been involved with residency spaces like the Sou’Wester on the Washington Coast, the Vares Collective and MASSIA in Southwestern Estonia, the later of which she spent a total of 9 months living at over the course of two years. Here, she engaged in projects such as the Forum for Radical Ecology Studies (Forest), Tantsumassiv, and the Socialist Herbalism network.  She also collaborated with performance artist Pire Sova on a site specific bog performance.

Since December 2023 Yarrow has been studying voice with mentor Heidi Skok and is currently part of the Seattle Estonian choir.

Yarrow has a BA from The Evergreen State College with a focus in Ethnobotany and has studied Herbalism for many years, especially at Wildroot Botanicals in Bellingham, Washington. She is currently working on a yet to be announced book of illustrations, and also beginning to plan new performances and collaborations.
