Yolanda Pong's artwork primarily uses mixed media, with a focus on black, white, gray, and metallic colors. Her paintings emphasize spatial structure and balance, embodying the purest essence of painting. In recent years, she has also delved into soft sculpture creation. Her works have been exhibited in Taiwan, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, and New York.
