PROFILE

Jasna Gopic is mixed media artist from Serbia. She finished college at University of Belgrade, where she majored in Geography. About nine years ago, she moved to the States with her familly. Jasna had always been interested in art and experimenting and this is why she came across a unique invention. Her passion is painting with nail polish on glass. The artist is using glass as her canvas, nail polish as her paint, and the nail polish applicator as her only tool.

Since she loves adding many details, she often paints with a magnifying glass, and some work takes several months to be completed. "My paintings are never simple. They tell more then the story because it depends on the kind of medium, surface, additional substances, and inspiration. Every painting reveals another aspect of my imagination. I especially love to express the properties of nail polish because in one picture, there are two stages. One can be seen during the day and other at night."

Besides using nail polish, Jasna uses acrylic, oil, colored pencils, and photography. Recently she had an exhibit at the Sterling Heights City Hall, due to her achievement of Artist of the Month. Her work has appeared in exhibits and personal shows in Europe and across Michigan, as well as on TV.
