Thank you for stopping by JMJARTSTUDIO . A little bit about me. I am a self taught artist. Since I have never had any formal training I have no boundaries I like to paint whatever I am feeling at that moment.You can tell a lot by my pieces how I felt when I painted the piece.Some are bright and cheery some not so much. One of the pieces I am most proud of is my braille series . This was completely inspired by my daughter she is blind. Many times she would sit by my side as I painted and ask many questions what am I painting? What color? Is it a tree? What are the shapes? so for the most part I would do my best to describe it to her. Which got me to thinking why does art have to be purely visual. I work with texture and shapes so much everyday how about concentrating more on how the piece feels . So from that you will find many pieces in my shop that have either braille incorporated into them or a lot of texture.My daughter just loves to come and put her little hands all over my pieces now so that she can really get a feel for the piece.I love to create and I do it because it makes me happy I have paintings all over the world from China, Iceland , France and even Germany all of which I am very proud of . I could not do this without the support of my wonderful family. I have a terrific husband and three beautiful children who are my strength and inspiration. I hope this has opened up a little window for you into my world I don't take days to think about a piece there is no planning or contemplating it is just me Mom of three painting from my heart.Recently my work was featured on NBC's TODAY show with Kathy Lee and Hoda as one of their favorite things it is one of my favorite things also as it was a piece from my braille series that I created just for my daughter.
