Face and Body Painting!

I'm sending a BIG Thank You to Jamaal Eversley and Leyla Chaieb for being my Face and Body painting models last week, we had a fun time enjoying a beautiful Sunday out in Jamaal's yard! This was my first time painting all the way down someones neck onto their shoulders and the first time I painted a torso. 

Contact me ASAP if you would like to be painted for the Caribbean Festival Parade or if you looking to hire a Face Painter for a party and any other kind of event, thanks!

 Jammal is an abstract painter and a poet, so I put the S A on his chest
to stand for Super Artist!

The happy painted couple!

Up Close and Personal - Fine Art Floral Photo

These small photos are perfect for apartments, smaller homes, displaying on a desk at the workplace to help personalize a space or to give as a gift. They are also a great way to start a photography collection!

The Artist’s Way Group at the Black Indian Inn for Boston area artists

Do you want to let your creativity flow, get more time in your studio and be the artist of your spirit? Are you tired of having artists block or have you taken a long break from your artwork and feeling

a bit nervous about returning to your art? Then this is the group for you! We will explore and release our creativity using the techniques in the fantastic book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and meet in a safe, supportive environment with other artists and creative people.

This group is facilitated by Radiant Jasmin and is for all performing, visual and literary
artists and creatives.

We will start on Monday April 9, 2012 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm and meet for 12 Monday nights or on Sundays from 4pm-6pm (the day will depend on which one works for the largest number of people.) There is a sliding scale fee of $25 -$50 for all 12 sessions. You will need to have the book and a new journal or one that has a lot of blank pages in it.

The Black Indian Inn is on 38 Bicknell St., Dorchester, MA 02121, www.blackindianinn.com.

For more info and to register, please call me at: 617-319-9778 and let me know which

Keep on Creating!

The Meaning of Radiant Jasmin

Radiant, as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary 1. Emitting heat or light. 2.Consisting of or emitted as radiation: radiant heat. 3.a. Filled with light; bright. b. Glowing; beaming. See synonyms at bright. 1. An object or point from which light or heat rays are emitted. 2 Astronomy. The apparent celestial origin of a meteoric shower. [Latin radians, present participle of radiare, to RADIATE. - radiantly adv. Bright - Synonyms a radiant object radiates light; figuratively the term applies to that which, like a smile, reveals inner light and warmth. The meaning of the name Jasmin is: Fragrant Flower or a climbing vine plant that has fragrant flowers. So for me, Radiant Jasmin means to shine light on the truth and to bring the heat to cold places, to heat it up, as on the dance floor and to shower a beautiful fragrance around the world! And for me to let my inner light shine fully :-) So there you have it! I had to post this because there are a few people who have a misconception as to what my name means. If you you happen to hear anyone say something along the lines of "she should act like this or like that because her name is Radiant, please send them this post to help them understand who I am, thanks!
