About this title

About the Author

Jasmine Cho was born in Los Angeles, California to parents who immigrated from South Korea. Her lived experience as someone who identifies as Asian American has been uniquely shaped by her time living throughout the country from New Mexico to Hawaii before settling in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Initially using cookie art to explore AANHPI issues and matters of representation, she expanded to traditional fine art media while pursuing her career as an art therapist. Jasmine has also authored, "Get a Hobby: 365 Things to Do For Fun, Not Work!"
