As an artist, Jasmin has always been interested in portraiture and fascinated with capturing realism through her fine art. These detailed works consist of different topics including politics, culture, music, and social issues.  She hopes to convey the emotion of the subject while evoking the same feeling upon the viewer. Through her paintings, she explores unique ways to express what she is feeling at the moment whether it was through a realistic painting or an abstract painting.  She hopes to use her art and creative talents to inspire others.

Manning's work has also garnered the attention of actors such as comedian Martin Lawrence and actress Felicia "Snoop" Pearson of the hit HBO TV show "The Wire."

Jasmin previously worked as the lead the graphic designer at Vape Dojo in Baltimore, Maryland, where her primary responsibility was working with the marketing team to establish brand identity through the creation of marketing materials, label designs, promotional campaigns and iconic logos.
