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. Yarrow has participated in gallery shows in both Seattle and Wuppertal.

In 2019, Yarrow began to study, and later work alongside with dynamic duo Maumae 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 several experimental ensemble performances in Seattle over the years.

Yarrow has been involved with residency spaces like the Sou’Wester on the Washington Coast, the Vares Collective and MASSIA in Estonia, the later of which she has been involved intensively over the last 4 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.

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