Art has always been Anne’s passion. After teaching Elementary Art in South Dakota, Anne retired to be closer to her grandkids in Wisconsin.

Yvonne Kett - Baskets
My name is Yvonne Kett. I grew up in Appleton and then went to Nursing school in Milwaukee. I worked as an RN in a number of settings including hospital nursing and home health care. I moved back to the Appleton area in 1997 and then to Neenah in 2023. I have always been involved in various crafts such as knitting and crocheting, which I now do for various charity groups. I developed a special interest in basket weaving and have now been weaving for many years. I have worked with different materials including natural fibers such as willow, grasses and other plant material, as well as pine needles and most commonly I work with reed. I utilize many native American designs in my work. Giovonniescreations@gmail.com
