Jasmine Becket-Griffith<br />
Jasmine very happy to be able to support herself<br />
painting what she loves. She paints typically<br />
between 8-16 hours per day, only breaking for<br />
travel or personal appearances. She lives in the<br />
Disney-created city of Celebration, Florida (near<br />
her primary gallery - Pop Gallery at Downtown<br />
Disney), and also divides her time between her<br />
secondary home studios in London, England and<br />
in her hometown of Kansas City. She has three<br />
cats, Mama Wolf, Tigrillo, and Sunshine. When<br />
not painting she enjoys traveling, spending time in<br />
nature, reading and vegetarian cooking.<br />
Jasmine’s artwork appears in countless books (her<br />
books “Gothic Art <strong>No</strong>w” and “Vampire Art <strong>No</strong>w,”<br />
“The World of Faery” with Alan Lee, ‘The Art of<br />
Faery” with Brian Froud, “Big Eye Art,” “The Fantasy<br />
Art Bible,” “The Oracle of the Shapeshifters,<br />
“The Oracle of Shadows and Light”, “Les Vampires<br />
Oracle,” “Myths and Mermaids Oracle,” “Beautiful<br />
Creatures Tarot,” “Lowbrow Art,” “Lowbrow Cats,”<br />
regular issues of the annual “Spectrum,” and Art<br />
Renewal’s annual ARC Salons, as well as her<br />
solo art books including “Fairy: the Art of Jasmine<br />
Becket-Griffith,” “Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Portfolio<br />
<strong>Vol</strong>ume I,” “Portfolio <strong>Vol</strong>ume II,” “Portfolio<br />
<strong>Vol</strong>ume III,” and the new “Strangeling: The Art<br />

lines of licensed merchandise products, and very<br />
notably her co-brands and character contract work<br />
with the Walt Disney Company. Jasmine’s internet<br />
and social media presence is one of the highest<br />
status online of any living artist, with millions of<br />
internet hits and a Facebook fanpage exceeding<br />
800,000 fans.<br />
Jasmine’s paintings are all created the traditional<br />
way - hand painted acrylic paintings on wood or<br />
masonite panels. <strong>No</strong> computers, no airbrushes,<br />
no digital enhancements. Jasmine’s work weaves<br />
traditional “Old Masters” style techniques and realistic<br />
detail with contemporary themes and characters,<br />
creating a timeless feel that appeals to all<br />
ages. Her original paintings and fine art can be<br />
found at the WonderGround Gallery at Disneyland<br />
in Anaheim, the Pop Gallery at Walt Disney World<br />
in Florida, and the Disney Marketplace Co-Op at<br />
Downtown Disney in Florida.<br />
