Since her death, her daughter, documentary filmmaker Clio David, discovered over 200 unseen paintings and drawings at the family home in Devon, leading to a solo exhibition of her work at The New Art Gallery Walsall in the summer of 2021. Yasmine's work in this gallery explores the beauty of the Devon landscape near Dartmoor. {{cite web |title=Yasmin David: Into the Light {{!}} |url=https://thenewartgallerywalsall.org.uk/exhibition/yasmin-david-2/ |website=The New Art Gallery Walsall |access-date=2 August 2023}}
