Yvonne grew up in Kuching and is a talented self-taught deaf and mute artist. With the encouragement from her father, she started drawing from a young age. She started from sketching pictures taken from books, comics and photographs and loved drawing cartoons. Her interests in arts has since grown and matured. Her preferred style of drawing and medium changed over the years. She started mostly with sketches before moving to watercolour, then to oil and acrylic. She gets inspirations from observing the nature and her surroundings as well as from pictures and photographs. Drawing elements of nature and landscapes have since become her forte. Yvonne won the Silver Medal in the art painting category from the 9th International Abilympics Competition in Bordeaux, France in 2016. She is a member of Sarawak Artists Society and a long-time member of Urban Sketchers Kuching.
