About me
Jasnine Designs is a mixed media artist known for her empowering works that exude a mix of female energy and male energy combined to demonstrate female empowerment and resilience. Best recognized for her black-and-white murals of inspiring women, Jasmine’s art can be found on public walls in North American cities such as Montreal, Toronto, Miami, and New York, where she brazenly takes on large-scale murals that transform urban landscapes. She blends graffiti and fashion illustration that create a true urban elegance.
Graduating from Montreal's esteemed Lasalle College in 2009 with a degree in fashion design, Jasmine quickly discovered her passion for seamless patterns and fashion illustrations.While honing her skills as a graphic designer for various marketing and fashion companies, she would be painting murals and canvases in her spare time. Jasmine’s murals have been gracing public spaces for organizations like StreetARToronto, Calyx Wellness, and most recently, a massive two-story, 2500-square-foot mural for Kirsch Cosmetics—her largest to date.
In 2020, I transitioned to being a full-time artist, specializing in large-scale custom canvases of female portraits and bespoke wallpaper designs. My creative process involves blending acrylics, oils, and a custom gesso formula that I developed to craft unique paints from scratch. Once the portrait is painted, I layer intricate lace over the canvas and gently spray a transparent spray paint on top. As I peel away the lace, it leaves behind a delicate, detailed lace print on the portrait, enhancing the texture and adding an opulent quality to the piece. This process not only creates a beautiful, intricate design but also smooths out the paint blends, giving the portrait a more refined, realistic look. The layer of spray paint serves as a metaphor for the resilience and strength required to succeed as a female entrepreneur—reminding us that, like the paint, we must develop an extra layer of thick skin to navigate the challenges and complexities of the journey. The lace technique also symbolizes the power of femininity and the beauty of vulnerability. It shows that, like lace, women’s strength often comes from their intricate layers—gracefully embracing both their fragility and their ability to endure, adapt, and flourish. This approach not only elevates the art but offers a deeper, empowering narrative about the multi-dimensionality of women and their potential
A fierce advocate for women’s empowerment, Jasmine infuses her personal story of strength and resilience into every piece she creates. Her art reflects both her journey and her unwavering belief in the power of femininity. Primarily working in black and white, Jasmine uses her paintings to symbolize light emerging from darkness, aiming to inspire and uplift women everywhere. Having faced the challenges of escaping abusive relationships and learning to navigate the path of independence, she turned her struggles into strength, ultimately finding empowerment through her art. Jasmine’s work serves as a beacon of hope, reminding women of their inherent power to overcome and create their own paths to success
Jasnine's artistic practice is not only a creative outlet but a vital form of meditation that helps her stay grounded and focused on self-care. It is through her art that she channels her energy, expands her growth, and maintains her sobriety—a commitment that is central to her journey. For Jasmine, creating art is both a source of personal healing and a powerful tool for transformation. Her work serves as an empowering call to action for young women, inspiring them to embrace their passions, prioritize wellness, and live their best lives with positivity, confidence, and unwavering strength.
