Yabby started drawing at a young age, her artwork spilling out anywhere it could find a home. The walls and other surfaces were not safe.

Self-taught for many years, she spent time discovering processes, trying new techniques and styles enjoying being submerged in the process, letting it guide her next piece. Her art displays a passionate approach and fluid style. Not many pieces are the same, but they all convey her vibrant, fearless energy. Her work is intuitive and she is moved by abstract and unusual forms.

Early on, Yabby was discouraged from pursuing art by everyone around her and encouraged to get a ‘proper job’ which would give her a sustainable future. She ignored this terrible advice and finally went to art school and realised that creating art is not optional, but part of a fulfilling life. She believes art should be experienced by anyone who wants to enjoy the process, regardless of end product and is a keen contributor to community arts.

Yabby moved from her homeland, Poland, to the UK and lives in Buckinghamshire creating mixed media pieces in acrylics, watercolours, inks, digital painting & illustrating.
