Brandi Jasmine is a mutli-talented artist, writer, and photographer whose many interests are reflected in the different media used in her varied portfolio. Currently, Brandi is building a portfolio she calles "Beaded Paintings". These unique works of fine art are a cross between beadwork, mosaic, and painting. She starts with a painted canvas board, and glues hundreds of tiny glass beads and crystals to achieve a three-dimensional work of art.
These four beaded paintings are currently featured at the Niagara Gallery:
In addition to her beaded paintings, Brandi also has collections of acrylic paintings, digital artwork and photography:

Brandi began her artistic career by hand painting t-shirts in Vancouver BC's fashionable "Robson Street" district. Brandi has painted on a wide variety of different non-traditional "canvases" including t-shirts, futon covers, and mailboxes, but the most unique is "the art car", which was retired from the road September 2005. Brandi's artwork draws from a wide variety of styles and subject matter. Her fantasy and mystical style is influenced by her personal experiences and interests in astrology, comparative religion, mythology and mysticism.
