Yvette was born in Wellington, a small town just outside of Cape Town, in South Africa.

Through the years, Yvette has always been attracted to the arts, whether in the form of music, architecture or acting. While never seeing herself as a visual artist, this all changed when settling back into life in South Africa after living abroad in Dubai for many years. Simple doodles soon morphed into complex forms and her black line drawings took on a life of their own. 

Yvette combines her appreciation for the smallest and most seemingly trivial detail that surrounds our lives with a deep desire to spread positivity and happiness to create mesmerising yet calming pieces that are inspired by subject matter surrounding her.
