Yvonne Abercrombie was born in 1982 Warkworth, New Zealand.

Growing up in the country, Yvonne cultivated an affiliate connection to her natural surroundings. This lingers in her painting practice as an underlining reminiscent subject.

Yvonne Abercrombie completed the Master of Design degree 2015 – 2017, during which time she developed a body of figurative and expressionist portrait paintings. Applying the figure to an undisclosed abstract landscape is where Yvonnes practice is situated. The marrying of subject, imagination and the illusive behavior of paint is the artists devise.

Post-graduation, Yvonne exhibited alongside Natalie Guy at the Uxbridge Malcolm Smith Gallery in Howick January 2018. Recent shows include the Glaister Ennor Art Awards at Sanderson Contemporary Art Gallery, State Highway at State Gallery, Allpress studios, James Wallace Arts Trust and Sanc Gallery.
