Jasmine Pixler Skully is an artist, photographer, and founder of Heart & Fox Fine Arts LLC. Her creative journey has been deeply shaped by her lived experience with invisible chronic illnesses, including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), gastroparesis, intestinal dysmotility, and fibromyalgia. Although Jasmine has lived with these conditions since birth, she wasn’t properly diagnosed until early adulthood. Those years of uncertainty, along with the challenges of managing daily symptoms, have profoundly influenced both her art and her mission.

Art has always been Jasmine’s way of finding beauty, meaning, and connection in the face of difficulty. She began with ceramics, drawn to the tactile play of form and texture, before exploring painting, drawing, jewelry smithing, metalwork, and glasswork. Each medium revealed new ways to transform raw materials into expressions of resilience and wonder. After high school, she discovered photography — first as a reference tool for her ceramics, and later as a passion of its own. What began with close-up studies of flowers soon expanded into images of landscapes, old architecture, and fleeting moments of light and shadow. Her work celebrates details often overlooked: the delicate veins of a petal, the quiet life of an insect, or the way shifting light can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary.

In 2018, Jasmine founded Heart & Fox Fine Arts LLC with a vision of creating more than an art business—it became a platform to raise awareness about invisible and chronic illnesses, support research into their causes and treatments, and provide space for other artists navigating similar journeys. Through her work, she strives to amplify voices often left unheard and to foster compassion, connection, and visibility.

Jasmine credits the love and support of her husband, family, and friends —as well as the dedication of some truly amazing and diligent doctors —for sustaining her through difficult times and fueling her creativity. Their encouragement and care remind her that art is not only a personal refuge but also a way of giving back.

At its heart, Jasmine’s art is about resilience and empathy. Whether through ceramics, jewelry, or photography, her creations invite viewers to pause, notice beauty in unexpected places, and reflect on the quiet strength that emerges from struggle. She hopes her work inspires others to see — and give voice to — the beauty in their own stories.
