Yanke’s grandparents were from Germany and Italy, making him second-generation. He credits this German-Italian heritage for his family’s love of antiques, as he would travel with his parents to auctions and estate sales around the Midwest on the hunt for treasures. In particular, they sought out leaded glass, windows and lamps.
On one of these trips, Yanke’s mother acquired a Tiffany leaded antique lamp with a dragonfly design on it, which Yanke recalls found a place in his family’s living room. The lamp left a lasting impression on the young Yanke, who recalls his mother always telling him and his five siblings to stay away from the dragonfly lamp. He now creates his dragonfly artwork in his mother’s honor.
“All of a sudden I decided to paint this [dragonfly], and it’s quite a departure from everything I was painting prior,” he says. “Well, I paint with my emotion and I paint about things that are dear to me.”
