Jasmine stated that the above had broadened her ideas about
people and places and influenced her way of seeing the world
around her. The place that the Artist has resided for the longest
period of time is katherine in the Northern Territory. Here she
lived for almost twelve years, during this time she had close
contact with several Indigenous artists. She explained that the
landscape and the lifestyle of the Northern Territory had quite
an impact on the visual component of her early work.

In 2002 Jasmine spent a year studying for a Bachelor of visual
Arts through the Curtin University in Perth. She credited this
study as providing her with “all the basics of painting”. She has
attended workshops to further build on her knowledge whenever
the opportunity has arisen.

In 2005, after a successful solo show at the June Tapp Artspace
in the Northern Territory, Jasmine had a solo exhibition at the
Art Moment gallery at Bondi Beach in Sydney. Since that time
her work has been shown in numerous group shows, including
another solo show at the Mimosa gallery in New South Wales.
The artist has recently moved to country victoria and said
that she would be exploring opportunities for exhibiting in
Melbourne.

Jasmine explains her work in the following statement, “I like to
use imagery to convey a particular idea or feeling and I hope

that the viewer will be engaged to think about a topic or idea
in a way that they might not have before, I hope that the viewer
can relate to some element within the painting. I spent the early
years of painting, expressing things that were more related to
my own personal life and situation, now I tend to look more at
the shared human condition.

Maybe that is me maturing in my work. Painting has always been
an important way for me to make sense of the world around me.”
