Jaz Harold was born in and raised in Monroe, CT. In 2004 she moved to New York City to attend the School of Visual Arts, and graduated with honors in May 2008 earning a BFA in Illustration. She has remained since in New York working as a freelance illustrator and gallery artist.
Jaz’s work thrives on the combination of contradictions; the cute with the creepy, the beautiful with the macabre, the horrific with the humorous, and the corrupted with the innocent. She has a series of lovable, huggable, squishable stuffed animals, embroidered with reminders of mortality, and designed to stash one’s pills. A different run of works focuses on childhood icons in horrific situations; ‘My Little Ponies’ have turned to cannibalism in one such painting, while ‘Rainbow Brite’ awakes to her horse’s decapitated head in another. Her works in various mediums have been displayed in galleries in New York, Connecticut, and Genova, Italy.

As an artist myself I love the first print. I reminds me of heartache. The way I feel when i loose someone I love dearly, like my hearts been ripped out of my chest but the world still flies around me not understanding my pain. I guess the second one tells me a story of a girl with so much beauty but seems to just blend in with everything else, and no one sees how beautiful she actually is. You don’t have to “get” some ones art. Art is about expression, it’s about the ways it make each and every person feel in a different way or what it makes you see. If you get a great amount of feelings you have made a great piece of art.

There is a lot to understand here. More than I can understand with a brief look here. Some of it is grotesque, making a statement perhaps. Obvious talent.

It’s just brilliant!
Both examples say so much with so little, they hit me so hard it was like a gut check.
I think that the wallpaper image is amazing on multiple levels. It makes a powerful emotional statement through the use of desgin, color and imagery. But it is also a technically brilliant piece of work. I say bravo, well done.

Very dramatic and also pleasing to my eye. And, Venessa, before using an artist’s work you need to ask permission, OK?

Your work is so magnificent to me! IT’s very out there and honestly, I can see it comes from within you. I am happy that you have acomplished so much! I live in Texas and well, i’ve seen alot from where im at! ALOT! But sometimes when i want to paint something it only comes in a feeling and only once in a while… unfortuanetly sometimes i want to draw or paint, but my feeling isn’t present and my art becomes into trash because through my eyes it’s not good enough. And when i see other’s who are WAYY BETTER i get… INTIMIDATED. I am very inspired by your story and WOW! YOUR ART IS WONDERFUL! =)

I just used this top photo in my blog. I felt like it described exactly how I was feeling when I wrote my post. It is really disturbingly beautiful.
