strangeling's Profile

Bio

My name is Jasmine Becket-Griffith. (Aka Strangeling or mis-spelled as Jasmine Beckett-Griffith). I am 30 years old and I live in beautiful Celebration, Florida. I am a full-time artist and I make my living selling my artwork. I have been selling my original Fairy, Gothic, and Fantasy artwork online since 1997. You are purchasing this artwork directly from me, the artist. My original paintings are all acrylics on canvas or wood - all painted by hand, the old-fashioned way. All prints are made by myself & my husband Matty, here in our living room - and signed by me, the artist! I make all of my jewelry myself as well. I feel that it is important for me to sell my work directly to my fans, without the needless expenses or pretension of a gallery or middleman. I grow weary of the mundane world, and I am trying to slowly create my own through my fantasy artwork. I believe that with each piece of art I get out of my system, onto paper, and into your home I have done my part to make this place a more magical planet.

You may know my work from countless books and lines of merchandise, especially through Hot Topic, Torrid, Target, SuperTarget, the Bradford Exchange, Hamilton Collection, etc. as well as my website WWW.STRANGELING.COM ! Here is your chance to own the actual artwork. My work can be found in collections and galleries throughout the world, and am featured in the books "The Art of Faery" & "The World of Faery," "Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed," "Spectrum" number 11, 13, and 15, "Gothic Art Now," and others. Also be sure to check out my solo art book called "Fairy: the Art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith," "Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Portfolio Volume I" and my new book "Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Portfolio Volume II" now available.

When I'm not painting, I'm reading, spending time with my family, petting my cats (Mama Wolf and Tigrillo), playing outdoors, listening to music, or traveling. I enjoy traveling all over the world, whether it be for my art shows & conventions or just for fun and exploration! I love the ocean and spend a lot of time island hopping in the Caribbean, playing pirate. I also love visiting museums and historic sites throughout Europe. A lot of my travels end up as being sources of inspiration for my paintings!
