Jasmine Elizabeth,

was born on a rustic little farm in western New York. As the second oldest of six siblings, it didn’t take long for her to learn the values of hard work and diligence both in the home and around the farm. From the young age of just three years old, Jasmine was already caring for the family horses, as best a three year old can, and she spent long days around the animals and in the outdoors. As she grew older Jasmine had competed in countless competitions with her horses, entered many art fairs where she showed off her early horse paintings, and continued to surround herself with all things art and animals.

         Jasmine's passion for art, particularly her love of painting and drawing animals, has been a constant draw since childhood. Throughout her college years Jasmine spent time traveling abroad. Her journeys took her overseas where she was able to take in beautiful new landscapes, walk through colorful textile markets, and even observe the unique clothing and architecture of various lands. Her encounters with the diverse cultures and creatures fueled her to create new artworks, but also sent her down a path of achieving a Masters degree in Social Studies and Historical education. Jasmine found she was not only in love with learning about other parts of the world, but she was also in love with teaching others about both the current, and past events of the world. So she set her artwork aside and spent ten years in higher education teaching Global and US history.

       While teaching, Jasmine continued creating art in her spare moments and would share her new works on social media from time to time. After creating her now well known painting, Galloping Herd,  for her own home, Jasmine began getting requests to purchase her painting or create a custom commission. She began painting new works of art for both art collectors and to add to her own collection; and what was once a hobby, soon began feeling like a career. As Jasmine grew her portfolio and her client list, she made the bold decision to step away from her position in the education field and pursue her art full time. 

         Jasmine has stayed true to her childhood passion of painting animals, and those paintings now hang in multiple galleries all across the US. Her dream of reaching far away places and new countries has come true as she has collectors and interior designers she works with all over the world. Jasmine enjoys challenging herself with new designs or subject matter once in a while, but she always comes back to her true and unique style of abstractly capturing the animals that have inspired her since she was a child.
