Bahamian Artist Bio

Y. M. BAIN

Mrs. Yvonne Bain (nee Malone) was born and brought up in Nassau. After marriage in 1968 to Stuart H.R. Bain of Perthshire, Scotland, Yvonne from time to time took classes from various local artists here in the Bahamas.

Yvonne was a keen gardener and a member of the International Garden Club in Nassau. Her love for tropical flowers and foliage is shown in her choice of subjects to paint.

In 2004, Yvonne and Stuart moved to the Isle of Man, and Yvonne was widowed soon after. In her widowhood, she took up painting again in earnest. She joined the Isle of Man Art Society and paints with the local artists there every week. Despite living in a different climate now, Yvonne has not lost her love of the Bahamian flora.
