ABOUT US
MEET THE FOUNDER
Artist, entrepreneur, and mom of three — Yolanda is the heart behind YFL Art & Decor.
Her love for art began early, but her journey has taken her across countries and through many chapters: moving to Canada as a teen, studying at Sheridan and Seneca College, and spending over a decade in the medical and orthodontic fields.
After navigating personal challenges — from depression and chronic illness to fertility struggles — Yolanda found her way back to creativity. Painting became a source of healing, and from that healing, YFL was born.
Now based in Texas, Yolanda continues to share her story through handcrafted pieces that carry intention and meaning. Through her brand, she is building a legacy for her children while inspiring others to embrace creativity, resilience, and authenticity.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in Ontario, YFL Art & Home Decor began as a Canadian, BIPOC-owned brand built on craftsmanship, individuality, and sustainability.
Now proudly rooted in Texas, we continue to create each piece by hand — from terrazzo trays to bamboo décor — with beauty, durability, and meaning in mind. Our work blends art and function, offering timeless pieces for real homes.
Whether it’s a delicate ring dish or a statement painting, every creation reflects Yolanda’s values: creativity, healing, and intention.
