MEET THE ARTIST
HEY, I'M JAS!
Jasmyn Diggs is a St. Louis born visual artist, muralist, caricaturist, and paint & sip instructor.
Drawing from a young age, she honed her craft through independent study, crediting youtube and
instagram as her main sources of education.
She won multiple awards for art during her high school years, most notable being 1st and 2nd place
in the Walgreens Expression Challenge two years in a row (2016-2017). She worked as an
apprentice for St. Louis Artwork’s from 2016-2018 creating murals around the city.
In 2018, she
attended Columbia College Chicago for one semester to study 2D animation. Realizing traditional
education wasn't for her, she returned to St. Louis in 2019 to pursue art on her own while juggling a
9-5.
In 2022, with the convincing of a friend, she began working at an Art Studio as a Paint & Sip instructor. Less than one year later she
decided to venture off on her own once again by offering her own Paint & Sip services.
Along with
paint & sips, she vends at local festivals and events offering original artwork and unique caricatures
on handheld fans.
Now in 2024, she’s established herself as a versatile artist hosting lively paint & sips, doing live
caricatures, and selling original artwork around the city of St. Louis.
At the end of March, a week before her 24th birthday, she left her job as a manager at the St.Louis Wheel to practice art fulltime.
