"JM Portraits is about telling a story through art. Art is a form of expression through which we can communicate without even saying a word. The way that life is and how it can bring things or people into our lives to shape us into the person that we are today is very captivating. Whether a good or bad experience, being able to go through certain things and learn from it is my biggest inspiration. The people that I come into crossroads with on my life journey also share some of their experiences with me. I'm able to take everything in and let my brush do the speaking for myself and others." - Jadae Mayes
