I am a HUGE fan of Jasmine's and own several of her original paintings, including one I recently commission her to do - a portrait of me and my cats. Her talent is unsurpassed and makes me envious of both her artistic abilities AND imagination. Her use of color and imagery is amazing. I frequently look at this book just before going to bed because I find it so peaceful and cozy. Her art draws me into a different world, one FAR more magical than the real one we live in. Each piece is a momentary escape from boring realities of life. I hear she may have plans in the future to come out with a more comprehensive hard-cover collection of much more of her work, and she IS prolific in her creations - she completed my commission in three days alone!!!!! I cannot wait to see her next book - I STRONGLY recommend both old and new fans of her work to buy this book!!!! In addition, she is amazingly gracious and humble, and truly gets great pleasure from sharing her art with others (I know this from several direct contacts with her). Support of her art in the form of buying this book would be money well spent!! [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hypnotic Gaze Of Jasmine Becket-Griffith, July 22, 2007

This review is from: Fairy: The Art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith (Paperback)

Jasmine Becket-Griffith is a talented young artist who paints some of the most vivid, exquisitely colored paintings I've ever seen. Specializing in fairies with occasional excursions into various spiritual/mythological traditions (I've seen paintings based on Polynesian, Mayan, Hindu and Greek themes so far) as well as some of the darker aspects of childhood bedtime tales. All her work is subtly connected by an overlaying gothic feel that adds depth and additional dimension to all she does drawing her audience irresistibly into her magical realm. Jasmine has definitely sparked the imagination of many and has attracted a varied and ever growing audience to her artwork.

In her recently published paperback book `Fairy: The Art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith' both fan and newcomer are given the unique opportunity to familiarize themselves with the artist and her multi-layered fantasies. The wide-eyes magical beings with huge eyes and childlike faces (all fashioned after her own image) are her trademark. Take one look into those hypnotic gazes and you'll become a fan too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, January 28, 2006

About 65 pages of beautiful prints. It seems kind of pricey at around $32 but almost all pages are packed with wonderful color prints. A good introduction to the artists work.
