Jazmine M. Beatty
Jazmine is an artist, designer, and educator based in Virginia Beach. Holding a Master’s in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA in Communication Design from Texas State University, Jazmine’s creative and teaching practices are rooted in social justice, cultural identity, and youth empowerment. Her work explores how art can address inequity, foster community healing, and amplify underrepresented voices.
Through her art practice, she has held artmaking workshops, and participated in collaborative art projects across Hampton Roads and beyond, including events like the Norfolk and D.C. Zine Festivals, Norfolk Botanical Gardens Diversity Gallery, and public art initiatives in the ViBe Creative District. Her creative research, featured in An Anthology of Blackness: The State of Black Design, examines the power of collaborative making and Black cultural expression and continues to influence her exploration of art as a bridge for connection and understanding.
