About me

About Art by Yo

Keep your head up - those were my mother's words to me before she passed away, and they became the foundation of everything I create.

I'm Yo, the artist behind Art by Yo. While living with Multiple Myeloma, I paint bold, expressive portraits of women that celebrate strength, resilience, and beauty. My son has been my greatest inspiration to never give up on my artwork, reminding me every day why this matters.

My work features vibrant colors, graphic lines, and uplifting energy. Many of my originals are enhanced with hand-applied embellishments and sparkle, making every painting truly one-of-a-kind - just like you.

Through my art, I hope to bring awareness to Multiple Myeloma and remind you of your own power. No matter what challenges you face, keep your head up.

Thank you for supporting independent artists and small businesses!
