JADA JUNIUS
Baton Rouge, LA
2024-2025 Scholarship Louisiana State University
Jada Junius is embarking on her journey toward a BFA at Louisiana State University in Fall 2024. She aims to fulfill her lifelong dream of making films by studying animation and plans to minor in teaching.
Junius hopes her artwork reaches a diverse audience and that its message reaches the heart of whoever encounters it, regardless of age, background or nationality. She says her art “transcends mere representation; it serves as a conduit for viewers to explore the depths of emotion and the essence of human connection.” A fascination with human portraits inspires her, and she desires to “evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for humanity” with her brush strokes.
Jada Junius graduated from New Orleans Science and Mathematics High School in 2024. She first joined the YAYA Guild in 2018.
