2003
The 2003 Poster Design Contest Winner is Yvonne Benzinger. A native of New York State, Yvonne has lived in Idaho since 1978. She is a graduate of the Albright Art School of the University of Buffalo in New York. Her years as a freelance commercial artist have included a wide range of projects, from fashion art, brochure design, and sign painting to screen-printing signs and products, including the one-color prints on early Art on the Green t-shirts. Currently she is the Director of the Summer Arts Program for Youth sponsored by the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission and editor of the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission newsletter. Yvonne works in watercolor, oil and serigraphy, with occasional diversions into mixed media and collage, the media used for this year's poster design. This is the third time she has won the Art on the Green poster contest since its start in 1991.
