About Me
Name: JaSki Watkins b. 1980
Location: Maryland / USA
​
Hello! I’m Ja’Ski Watkins, and I'm an abstract artist who has been working for over two decades. I also do design work, and I'm a mom of two amazing kids who continue to inspire me. I’m an avid believer in the liberating power of Abstract Art, and have been working to make my own unique voice in the genre through the creative use of shapes, lines, and colors to explore movement and emotion.
Art to me is all about connection, so if you’re interested in abstract expressionism and colors, I’m glad to have you here. I want to continue to make connections and keep this conversation going.
—Ja’Ski

Community
A study from 2014, suggests that abstract art “frees our brain from the dominance of reality.” It “enables the exploration of yet undiscovered inner territories of the viewer’s brain,” — meaning that the viewer can tap into emotional and cognitive states they haven’t yet had the chance to explore.”

Our Aim and
Motivation
I strive to push the boundaries of creativity, crafting abstract art that evokes emotion, inspires imagination, and transforms spaces. My mission is to create thought-provoking pieces that invite viewers to interpret, feel, and connect with art in a profoundly personal way.
