Mother by Jasmine Worth
"I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. My mother still has a drawing I did of Fred Flintstone when I was 3 years old. I've always been influenced by cartoons and books, I am an avid consumer of both." Jasmine says that she loves both watercolors and oils. "The two are so different. I usually work in oils for my professional work, but I still love to use watercolors whenever I get the chance!"

Gallery in Venice Beach in May and November, and I will be doing a featured show with La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Hollywood August 5th, I will also be in the La Luz de Jesus 25th Annual Master's show in October, which will be accompanied by a book.

Wishbone by Jasmine Worth
In her spare time, Jasmine is an avid reader and collector of dead things (don't worry, she doesn't kill them herself). "I like to read. A lot. I own a freakish amount of books that are piled (literally) floor to ceiling."
