Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Yasmin and I'm a mixed media artist currently based in Austin, Texas. I draw inspiration from plants, dreams, imagination, textiles, travel and my heritage. As you will see when you look around this site, my mixed media art is often deeply textured and layered with vintage ephemera, ink, acrylic, mark-making, graphite and gold leaf. My subject matter range from imaginative dreamscapes to hamsas to introspective female figures. I also love creating cyanotypes using local plants, flowers and paper silhouettes. These botanical vignettes are a deep shade of indigo and white.

February 22 - 23, 2020 • Austin, Texas • Jenny Doh is an artist and instructor based in California. I had the great pleasure to take her workshop in Houston and I am thrilled to bring her to Austin.
