Hi I’m Jasu

I, Jasmine Rosa Emilia Hintsala, commonly known as Jasu, was born in 1993, on March 16, in a tiny village of Finland called Oulainen. My family consists of 13 individuals: Mom, dad, five boys and six girls. Ever since being a little kid I enjoyed playing alone. I’d rather leave the crowd of people to have my little adventures in solitude. The forest was my favorite place; there I'd spend hours imagining that I was the fastest horse in the whole entire world. There were people after me, trying to catch and imprison me, but I was the only horse they couldn’t catch. In other occasions I turned into a tiger; I would be the most skilled hunter that had ever existed. The human-hunters never managed to track me down but I’d sneak behind them and give them the last surprise of their lives. Every time I was swimming, I turned into a dolphin or a seal, and when I was around 4 years old I would take off all my clothes every day exactly at 6 pm. because, naturally, animals didn’t wear any clothes. I’d run like a dog all around the house and the yard, not using my hands when it was time to eat and drink.

Watercolor painting.

Possibly the most outstanding creations of Jasu are her watercolor paintings. Usually her colorful and amazingly detailed paintings are nature, animal, and fantasy-themed. Because of their great popularity, the watercolor paintings are decorating most of the Jasu Wonder World proudcts. Jasu's first illustrated book for kids, "You Surely Have a Long Neck", also features artwork made with watercolors and is certainly not going to be the last of its kind.
