Jasmine Becket-Griffith, American Fairy and Fantasy Artist, is a Phenomenon!
Jasmine Becket-Griffith, a thirty-two-year-old American fairy and fantasy artist, is a phenomenon! I first learned of her existence while surfing eBay in the late 1990s, where I discovered her big-eye fairy art. Most recently, I worked with her in writing my book, "Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed," where she graciously wrote the foreword, in addition to contributing her beautiful work.
Jasmine's work is best known for its Gothic overtones and surreal style. In her art, there is something for everyone, as she has masterminded all sorts of interesting series such as "Alice in Wonderland," "Rococo," "Steampunk," "Dinosaur Friends," and more! Jasmine, an extremely prolific artist, unveils new and exciting work almost daily.
Jasmine Becket-Griffith: A Phenomenal Artist of the Twenty-First Century
Jasmine Becket-Griffith has accomplished a great deal in such a short amount of time. Her designs are sold by popular retailers such as Target, Supertarget, Hot Topic, Torrid, Hastings, Disney, Busch Gardens, Disneyland Paris, the Bradford Exchange, Hamilton Collection, and other stores all around the world. Jasmine's creativity knows no end. She was recently commissioned by Disney to design a fresh new line of Mickey, Donald Duck, and Tinkerbell characters, and she also designed a Wizard of Oz collection with a fairy theme for Hamilton. Among her latest ventures is the "Call of the Night" collection for Bradford, a series of fairies and their pet owls. Jasmine's creativity is boundless!
Jasmine's energy is limitless! This ethereal beauty of the raven hair is a whirlwind of energy--always working, continually reinventing herself! Her imagination and innovativeness know no bounds! Jasmine typically creates several paintings a week, as well as jewelry and other products for her eBay and Etsy stores. She continually creates new designs for her Zazzle shop. She writes books ("Fairy: The Art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith," "Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Portfolio: Volumes 1 and 2," "Gothic Art Now"), not to mention designing exclusive products for major companies. To tell you the truth, Jasmine Becket-Griffith makes me tired just watching her!
Jasmine is an artistic prodigy. Her talent and drive bring to mind classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who composed over six hundred works. Jasmine is a role model for up-and-coming, as well as established artists. Many artists look up to her and seek her advice, which she freely and unselfishly gives, even though she has her hands full performing the daily tasks of running her extremely successful art business, along with her husband/ assistant, Matt.
Jasmine has single-handedly changed the face of fairy art forever by generously sharing her trademark big-eye Gothic cuties with us. And, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (many artists attempt to copy her style), then Jasmine is destined to become one of the most beloved fantasy artists in the history of art. Long after we have all turned to dust, Jasmine will still be remembered--immortalized in history books and revered by future generations as the "mother" of fantasy and fairy art; of this, I am certain.
For a minute-by-minute update on all of Jasmine's projects, visit Jasmine's Facebook Page, and discover for yourself just how much of a phenomenon she really is.
"I grow weary of the mundane world, and I am trying to slowly create my own through my fantasy artwork. I believe that with each piece of art I get out of my system, onto paper, and into your home I have done my part to make this place a more magical planet."
--Jasmine Becket-Griffith
