The Artist
My name is Yolanda. I’m known by my nickname, YoYo. I’m from New York City and migrated to Atlanta. I strive to uplift the individual through partnership and manifestation. I started creating when I was seven following my mother’s footsteps. She painted every week and instilled a beautiful example of what consistency and practice can do to transform myself into the artist I am today.
I have a pretty wide range. I paint in oil and acrylic on canvas, fabric and digital. I love painting in oil. It takes a great deal of patience and discipline. I have such a great time creating on apparel as well because it makes me proud to see people walking around, smiling, taking pictures and sharing the art we create together. I look forward to connecting with you!
#WearTheArtYouLove
If you can dream it, together, we can create it. I’ve coined the term, “wear the art you love”. In a period where we see popular clothing lines and influencers utilizing their platforms to belittle and dehumanize black people, it was extremely important to me to be proud of who I was, where I’m from and showcase it in the apparel I love. Black lives matter, black businesses matter and our creativity matters. So let’s put you in the art you love to wear. Let’s hang the art you love to see and let’s share the art you love with others.
If you partner with me, please use #weartheartyoulove on your social media platforms and tag your city. I’d love to see you with your art!
YoIndigoArt
YoIndigoArt is a place to manifest art the way you envision. YoIndigoArt began with the love for blues and purples, the search for balance through creating visual elements that tap in the emotions. It represents a beacon to my culture and community that you can create anything you want. It provides a direct way in which art blooms through apparel, canvas or otherwise, with no lines of gender that equally empowers and transcends thyself. Here you can choose from original art or connect with me to customize your journey.
YoIndigoArt is for the people, inspired by the people and empowered by the people who support it.
