impact on their growth, development, moods, blood sugar balancing and behavior.

Our paths crossed 6 years ago at the school both her kids and mine attend. My oldest brother passed away from cancer that year and I was going through tough times. I was surrounded by friends but her friendliness, warmth and openness were quite magical and we found ourselves connecting and starting a new friendship.
A few years
later, while choosing the women that would inspire me to paint for my first
solo art exhibition, I knew Heidi would be one of them. Now, “Embracing Differences” is hanging at Heidi’s cozy
home, among beautiful works of art, toys, children playing, friends and family.

Seidman testimonial: “Jazmin continues to amaze me with her expression of beauty
through her art. The paintings she creates feel like they each tell a story
that is so unique and diverse and express such emotion and beauty!”
“Embracing
Differences” was one the favorite paintings
at the exhibition “Honouring Women”. The exhibition took place in 2013, at the Sidney and Gertrude
Zack Gallery in Vancouver. The artwork included two women from opposite
backgrounds celebrating and embracing their differences encircled by beautiful
flowers and colours. I wanted to challenge myself and see what could
come up from having two completely different women together in the same canvas. This piece was the
last one I painted for the show out of 12 artworks! While working in this
last piece, I felt free, spontaneous, happy and innovative. I had
lots of fun!
Heidi, your
friendship, your great sense of humor, your amazing listening and your love for
nature, yoga and good food are an inspiration to me. I am forever grateful.
Thank you
for choosing this painting to decorate your beautiful home. A work that came to
life from who you are, your essence and your beauty. 
"The stories you believe to be true are the ones your life will become" with love, Jazmin
