Culture is a defining factor for many artists, including Jasmine whose interview and artwork is in the post below. The interview took place at Cafe Mestizo in Pilsen where she held her first gallery showing. Besides the nostalagia of her first show, it was also the Mexican community that she reflects in her artwork that made it such a perfect setting. I interviewed her before I started school but it seems perfect to post it today with the celebration of the 200th aniversary of Mexican Independence. There was a lot to take in at Pilsen, from the thrift stores to the murals, it was truly an experience that made me feel reconnected with my own culture and inspired by the bold personality and style that is Jasmine.
