About the Artist
Jhaesayte was born and raised in Nova Scotia, and because of this she has an acute appreciation for all things natural. In 2000, she moved to Toronto to start anew. All the things that she couldn’t do in the country were all of a sudden right in front of her, in the city. The people she met opened her up to new ways of thinking, and Jhaesayte thrives on the variety in Toronto, and though life in general has been much harder, it has been much more fullfilling as well. She has many plans for the future.

The Inspirational Elements
Jhaesayte
Throughout my life I’ve always taught myself to look at the good and the bad with the same amount of feeling and appreciation. After all, ugly things are just as interesting to look at, in their own way, as beautiful things. I always find myself trying to push that in my art, though not quite with the results I wanted or intended.
Some of the art I make is made purely for the masses, and for its cuteness value, while some other art I make is specifically tailored to represent things that might disturb that same group of people. Limiting your art is one of the worst things you can do, for how can you grow as an artist, designer, photographer, or whatnot if you are not constantly trying new things. My art may not all be gothic, so to say, but all of it is different, and I think that this represents me, as a person, much better.
