About Me

Jearelyn is a 25-year-old self-taught artist from Montreal, Canada, with proud roots in El Salvador and Honduras. Her passion for art began early—at just four years old, she would spend hours drawing and creating withwhatever materials she could find.
Her biggest inspiration has always been her father, who painted as a hobby. Watching him work sparked her curiosity and laid the foundation for her own artistic journey.
For a long time, she believed painting couldn't be a "real" career—until 2024, when she decided to take a leap of faith and fully embrace her creative path.
Living in Montreal, a city that blends cultures, languages, and stories, has also been a source of inspiration for her. Creating has always been a part of who she is—first as a way to connect with others, and now as a way to reconnect with herself. Her journey has evolved into a deep love for painting, especially with oil and acrylic, as a means to explore emotion, identity, and resilience. Art has become her way of translating the internal into something visual, personal, and real.

The Making of ART BY JEARELYN

Her current creative journey began in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, when  she launched a small business selling  custom shoes and  pop art canvases. What started as a hobby quickly grew into something much more but when life  slowly returned to normal and academic  responsibilities took center stage, she put  her art on pause to prioritize her education.
In 2024, overwhelmed by the pressures of university life, Jearelyn turned to painting as a way to cope with anxiety. That’s when “Luces del Anochecer” was  born—her very first painting,  and the  spark that reignited  her love for creating. She filmed and shared the behind-the-scenes process of the piece on Instagram, and the outpouring of support from her community confirmed what she had long felt in her heart: art is her calling.
Now, she’s committed to embracing the unknown, building a creative career one canvas at a time—and the rest is history in the making.
