杨克昌出生于1946年的吉隆坡，1967年毕业于新加坡南洋美专，期间得到南洋先驱如张荔英等的教诲，并共同创办了新加坡南洋美专马来西亚校友会。由于受到美专传统的西洋画绘画手法与知识的熏陶，杨老师在此期间，坚定的掌握了油画艺术的表现能力，从此以后，就在西洋画艺术领域中，不断的追求与探寻自己生命的艺术方向。 坚持行走几十年艺术的道路，杨老师已经突破了绘画技术的框框，获取了艺术绘画更高境界的修养，得以用心灵所向的空间，绘画出属于自己的艺术作品。他的作品是以心念为导向，绘画技法为辅助，就像个文学家，把内在的知性与情感，叙述在白色的画布上。因此每幅画，每张作品，都有一个属于他自己内心情感的触动与故事。所以他的作品，都是他宝贵的思想与绘画修养的结合品。这些内容丰富、绘画纯熟的作品，都是我们不该错过欣赏的宝贵艺术。

杨克昌曾担任马来西亚画家协会艺术顾问，并在1968年至1996年间以插画师、平面设计师和印刷师的身份活跃于艺术与设计领域。他生前多次在吉隆坡精武画廊和颜丽轩画廊举办个人展览，展现了深厚的艺术造诣。作品曾入选马来西亚国家画廊公开展、国油公开展和马来亚银行公开展，并参与多个重要艺术博览会，包括马来西亚国际艺术博览会（2008、2009）；马来西亚艺术家博览会（2014、2015）；第十三届广州国际艺术博览会，中国（2008），以及第二届杭州艺术博览会，中国（2009）。此外，他的作品还亮相于新加坡及韩国的国际联展。
