  • Artist Statement

    Having survived unspeakable trauma’s, Jaene’s art is a proclamation of self-love in the face of erasure and adversity. Feeling silenced by misconceived notions, she reframes her experiences to transform from surviving to thriving. Jaene’s work represents the power of marginalized voices; enabling her to challenge stigma while shedding light on oppression. Through this journey we recognize the validity of fringe voices and lived experiences, which allow us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of humanity.
