A creative spirit born and raised against the picturesque backdrop of Upstate New York, Jasmine carries a passion for art and animals that has woven itself through every chapter of her life. As the second oldest of six siblings, she learned the values of diligence and determination on the family farm, where she discovered her affinity for nature and the animals she surrounded herself with. This rustic charm of her upbringing has played a significant role in shaping her artistic journey. Jasmine's passion for art, particularly her fascination with painting and drawing animals, has been a constant flame since childhood. The rural landscapes and calm wildlife around her home served as both a muse and a quiet place to hone her skills over the years. This lifelong devotion to her craft led her to pursue art passionately throughout her college years, enrolling in every class possible as she learned about new styles and techniques across the different artistic platforms. Her perspective took an international turn when she embarked on a transformative voyage across Europe and Asia. The encounters with diverse cultures, and the symphony of creatures from distant lands, kindled a new fire within her artistic heart. Each encounter breathed life into her art, fueling her passion and giving her new perspectives that can only be provided through global exploration.Jasmine's thirst for knowledge and culture led her to achieve a master's degree in historical education. Her path, however, took an unexpected turn when she chose to dedicate ten years to molding young minds as a high school history teacher. Though seemingly a departure from her artistic pursuits, this chapter of her life was one of invaluable growth and inspiration. As Jasmine drew closer to a decade in the classroom, she longed for creativity and inspiration, and once again picked up her brushes to begin a collection of inspired artworks. As this collection grew and developed into a passion project that consumed every free minute, Jasmine made the courageous decision to embrace her true calling and fully pursue her art. Leaving behind the world of public education, Jasmine embarked on a daring new venture – the launch of her abstract collection of paintings titled "The Herd." Through this evocative body of work, Jasmine masterfully intertwines her love of animals, her passion for art, and her rich experiences, into designs that are both as wild and chaotic, and as calm and beautiful as life itself. Jasmine's journey is a testament to the power of embracing one's passions, no matter where life's path may lead. With each stroke of her brush, she invites you to join her on a journey that celebrates the beauty of our world, the essence of our connections, and the limitless possibilities of your own creative expression.
