Hello my name is Jahsalyn,
I’m an artist who specializes in using oil paint on canvas to create contemporary pieces. My art delves into the depths of trauma, allowing my inner child to release hidden emotions. By tapping into nostalgic innocence and rekindling a sense of wonder, I tackle mature themes from a youthful angle. Vibrant colors and exaggerated expressions help me tell intricate stories. Through my art, I encourage viewers to contemplate the purity and innocence of childhood, offering a fresh perspective on personal and universal experiences. Come along on this emotional journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration with me.
