Inspiration Wednesdays : Jasmine Becket Griffith!

Hello dear bloggers! Today I'd like to share with you an artist whom I look up to and admire -  amongst my idols - Jasmine Becket Griffith!

Jasmine at her recent show at the Pop Gallery in Flordia!

I found Jasmine quite some time ago while I was going through my art exploration last year when I first started picking up painting again. I instantly fell in love with her big eyed (what I called at the time Baby Doll girls) fantasy paintings - and it even inspired me to go on a baby doll chibi craze of my own :P (for those of you witnessing that at Sketchfest you now know where that came from haha!)

"Alice and Snow White" by Jasmine Becket Griffith. This has definitely been my desktop background at work for a good 2 months :P

"Marie Masquerade" by Jasmine Becket Griffith. This painting is high up on my wish list!!

Jasmine is an acrylic painter who lives in Celebration, Flordia...and you just know only good things could come from living in a town with that name :P Not only can she create flawless beautiful characters, with seamless blending... shes also incredibly friendly! Ive already written to her shyly twice on her Facebook (which you should definitely check out: Jasmine's Facebook!) for advice on masonite panels and brushes, and shes answered back thoroughly and very sweetly. I love approachable artists who really do help others out. So that adds an extra huge thumbs up from me!

"Looking Glass Queens" by Jasmine Becket Griffith. Now that framed mirror. Is awesome.

For a girl like me, painting after work and trying my hardest to be a part of a community of artists - looking over to Jasmine who has an amazing following on all social media outlets, countless portals to shop from, several functions and shows,  and what would appear to me a well rounded business... she really is my idol. Its one thing to be a painter, which clearly she can do. Its a whole other thing to know how to market yourself and truly be involved and noticed in the fantasy art world.
Whatever shes done, shes done it right. And I am in wonderous awe!

"Portrait of Ophelia" by Jasmine Becket Griffith

Close up of "Portrait of Ophelia" by Jasmine Becket Griffith. Those eyes! So so gorgeous!

In my dream world, Id hijack - politely :D - Jasmine away for some tea and I would pick her brain for hours from everything from technique, business, her whole story. She's even going to be in my home state of Maryland this November! I dont know if I'll make it - but to all of you Marylanders out there reading this shell be at Faerie Con in Baltimore! I definitely recommend going to see her even though I'll be green with envy up here in the Nordic lands ^^

"Alice Enchanted" by Jasmine Becket Griffith
