Miss Vanilla, a.k.a Jennifer Rasinski was born and raised in Connecticut. She works in a variety of mediums ranging from sewing, djing, painting and illustration. Through these mediums she has expressed her love of hip hop culture and its impact on her as an artist. Since embracing her womanhood, sexual freedom and empowerment, she also explores Ancient Egyptian amulets and symbolism through her most recent work of wearable art entitled “Positive over Negative.”
Her wearable art pieces have been seen on the backs of some of the East Coast’s most exciting artists, Raye Six, Shamon Cassette, Kilo Kish, Blue Nefertiti AKA Célia from Les Nubians to name a few. MissVanilla holds a B.F.A from Virginia Commonwealth University.
She lives and works in her studio in Crown Heights Brooklyn, where everything, as her tagline states, is Hand-Crafted with Mad Love.
