KAREN WHITE GALLERY: March 2014

JasminsArt is the work of Brisbane based Artist Jasmin Pearson. She is a self taught artist that uses many mediums to create her wonderfully bright and energetic paintings. She also has created mosaics, murals, canvas art, embroidery patterns & pieces, drawings etc. A selection of her work is currently on display at Site Cafe in Banyo.

Here is a statement from her Made It page: I have always loved to doodle & now I get to share my creations with you YAY! I have dipped into many types of mediums to find the best way to display my designs, I never thought that my drawings could be art all by themselves but here we are and there they are all ready to be shared with the world.

What inspires you to create?

I just have to, like we need to breathe I need to be doing something creative everyday. Listening to music or watching Tv series while I work keeps me from overthinking too much while I paint.

What are your hopes for the future?

I was listing what I wanted and realised I am doing that already lol I am already a full time artist so maybe become a well known artist & show in lots of galleries.

Name a few things that make you happy?

My kids (when they're not driving me nutty lol) my hubby, friends n family. Music, Food, Travelling & my Art Studio

Who are some of your favourite Artists?

My favourite artists are the ones who have helped me become the artist I wanted to be. I used to have these grand ideas but could never pull them off and with the help of Tamara Laporte (Willowing & Lifebook) Jane Davenport, Chrissy Foreman Cranitch, Micki Wilde, Carla Sonhiem, Jodi Ohl, Mindy Lacefield, Juliette Crane, and a score of other Artists the list goes on Then there's the scores of Artists whose work inspires me also like Britsketch, Amanda Brooks, Starla Michelle, Laura Alice, Core & many more Art is everywhere! It's hard NOT to be inspired.

I always ask who peoples favourite music artists are as I like to stick a clip at the end.

My fav song hmmmmm thats a toughie but I would have to say 'To build a home' by The Cinematic Orchestra Most of the paintings I did for this collection were painted while listening to 'Say Something' A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera and 'Young and Beautiful' Lana Del Rey
