Max Yawney is an artist born and raised in South Burlington, Vermont. He earned a BFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1986 and later an MFA in Painting from Long Island University in 1998. After RIT, he spent five years living in New Mexico before continuing his practice across multiple locations including Covington Township, Pennsylvania, Brooklyn, New York, and South Burlington, Vermont, where he maintains active studios.
