About

 

Ana Jaffar self published author and artist from Decatur, Georgia.

Hellur, I'm Ana Jaffar, the proud owner of Passionate Expressions LLC! This beautiful venture became my baby in July 2020 when the challenges of Covid inspired its creation. Art has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to my middle school days. Being naturally creative, painting emerged as one of my favorite hobbies. Abstract art, in particular, holds a special place in my heart as it allows me the freedom to express myself without constraints.

Photography has also been a significant influence on my life, thanks to my father, a professional photographer. Over the years, I've participated in various markets, pop-ups, and art shows to showcase my work. Pour paints and plaster art have become my preferred mediums, adding depth and diversity to my artistic journey.

Art, for me, is a medium to encourage the community to express themselves without fear of judgment. In May 2022, I achieved a significant milestone by publishing my first poetry book, marking a highlight of the year. Balancing the roles of an artist and a first-time author has been a surreal and fulfilling experience.

Passionate Expressions LLC originated from a challenging period when Crohn's disease and the impact of Covid prevented me from pursuing traditional work. Despite the obstacles, my business has grown, and I cherish the dream of having my art featured in renowned galleries like the High Museum of Art, various Atlanta galleries, and art spaces worldwide, particularly in Europe and countless homes.

Looking ahead, I have set ambitious goals for my business, envisioning my own studio/gallery within the first five years of business. I am excited about the journey ahead and eager to see where Passionate Expressions will take me in the years to come!
