"Self-taught, Yesberg has degrees in law, anthropology and religion, but no formal training in art. She practiced law for several years and only started painting in her late 20s. She tells me it felt so right, it was like meeting herself properly for the first time.

Now a fulltime artist, Yesberg works with geometric abstraction using acrylics in primary colours, flamingo pink, racing car green and aquamarine built up from a black canvas, layer by layer. Her incredibly precise triangles, spheres, orbs and horizontal and diagonal stripes are painted without the use of tape, so that edges that look hard from afar are softer up close with the artist’s hand gently visible." - excerpt from article by Nadine Rubin Nathanan
