About the Pittsfield Mural: Memory Lane
“As a Western Massachusetts native, I wanted to capture the colors of what I consider to be our most beautiful season: Fall, with its crisp Autumn breeze, leaf-covered paths, and colorful trees.” ~Jasmine Sade
“Memory Lane” is a mural that offers a nostalgic dive into the intersection of happy moments shared by people who grew up on the West Side of Pittsfield, MA.
About Jasmine:

Jasmine, a Springfield, Massachusetts native, draws inspiration from artists such as Henry Taylor, Chuck Close, and Dorothea Tanning applying it to her portraiture. She is most known for her expressive use of color and celebration of the human form. Jasmine is a Holyoke Community College and Fashion Institute of Technology alumna, obtaining degrees in both Fine Arts and Fashion Design. She completed mural training at Mural Arts in Philadelphia.
Jasmine uses traditional materials, acrylic on canvas, color, and light to capture the beauty and the story of nature, of everyday life moments, of her culture, and of the things that connect us to each other.
