Etsy Featured Artist - Yaslani

Step into Yasmin's etsy shop and the first thing that hits you is... COLOR!! It is lively, vibrant, HAPPY with color! This Jersey girl, who moved to LA, and back again, picking up an education in Fine Art -Painting at Otis Art Institute, has got to be a very good-natured person, judging from her art. She says of her art, "I consider my art to be an aesthetic conversation. A lovely chat between friends sometimes relaying a story or an inside joke. The only judgement I make with my art is “am I feeling this or not.” The “not” pile gets recycled for another day." A very lighthearted view, which is reflected in the lighthearted scenes she sometimes depicts in her artwork.
Take "Nightwalk - 4x4 Canvas" for instance. Doesn't it just make you smile? This is one of several in a series depicting different animals - or sometimes the same animal - in various scenes and colors.
"Butterflies - 3 Pendants for the price of 2" is one of many sets of bamboo pendants that Yasmin makes. The subject matter varies greatly, so you're sure to find something you like.

"Bette Davis Eyes" is a small canvas with a big star! This painting, done in acrylics, is on 3/4" thick gallery wrapped canvas. A beautifully done piece of art in miniature. This can also be ordered in other colors, and she can also do a portrait using your own photo. Click on the picture to go to the listing, where you'll find more information about these options.
