 Me: Please share with my readers a little about yourself.


Jamillah: My name is Jamillah Yates, I have lived in Atlanta for about 2 years now. I have been involved in art every since I can remember; however I have recently taken up painting in march of 2020 and it is a passion that allows me to express the things that words can not. I hope to share my vision and  a little peace of my mind with others.



Me:  Tell me what inspired you to start doing art?


Jamillah: What inspired me to start doing art was the fact that it allowed me to freely express myself in anyway that I felt like at that moment, without any constraints.



Me: How long have you been painting?


Jamillah: I have been doing art for 13 years, but i have only been painting for about a year.


Me:  In your opinion what was the hardest part of putting your art work out there?


Jamillah: In my opinion, I believe the hardest part of putting my art work to the public is expanding my audience. 


Me: What advice would you give to an upcoming artist?


Jamillah: To an upcoming artist (in which I still see myself as one) I would say continue to invest in your craft, network with other artists, and focus on your own success without comparison because you have your own path to walk. This will decrease a lot of stress.


Me: What are you hoping people gain from purchasing and seeing your artwork?


Jamillah: My Artwork mainly consists of body positivity. I hope that my audience gains comfort in their own skin and celebrates the vector of the body with openness.


Me: Do you have an upcoming project coming out?


Jamillah: Yes, I am currently working on a series of zodiac signs depicted through gods and goddesses. 


Me: How can some of your pieces be purchased?


Jamillah: My pieces can be purchased through my etsy account , e-mail , or through direct message on my Instagram page.


Me: Please share your media pages for new fans that you would like to share.
