Jasmine Rhodes is a self-taught emerging artist and an academic working in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Her work integrates ceramic, collage, textile, and painting to explore embodied, affective, and relational aspects of life as a disabled woman. Dedicated practices of collection, experimentation, and arrangement form the core of Jasmine’s practice, as she integrates discarded, found, and made components to contemplate the body-matter-world relationship.
Jasmine’s artistic practice is informed by her background as an academic (teaching and research) in environmental humanities and philosophy of environmental education. She holds a Master of Environment with Dean’s Honors (2020), a Bachelor of Environments with First Class Honors (2017), and an Associate Degree in Urban Horticulture with First Class Honors (2015), all from The University of Melbourne.

Testimonials
"Jasmine led our classroom with immense grace, professionalism, and compassion. Her teaching fostered genuine collaboration, emotional safety, and intellectual bravery – qualities that many classrooms aspire to but rarely achieve."
"Jasmine’s guidance, passion, and unwavering commitment to her students, colleagues, and education have profoundly shaped my academic journey and outlook on the learning process and experience. Jasmine has been, by far, one of my favourite teachers, who has shown compassion in her professionalism and an inspiring approach to learning and communication."
"What I appreciated most about Jasmine’s teaching was the way she cultivated a space that felt open, reflective, and intellectually rich. Rather than simply focusing on theories, she encouraged us to connect deeply with our own experiences, feelings, and places. The opportunity to express our learning through creative forms was both liberating and profound. Her prompts were always thought-provoking and invited genuine reflection beyond the classroom."
"Jasmine is honestly one of the most memorable teachers I’ve had during my time studying in Australia. You can really tell she cares about her students, and that made a big difference for me this semester. Whenever Jasmine came over to our group during discussions, I always felt really safe and comfortable speaking up."
