The Heart of Passionate Expressions
About the Owner
Ana Jaffar (also known as Sheree J.) is the visionary behind Passionate Expressions LLC, a brand born out of resilience, faith, and a deep love for creativity. What began as a way to navigate personal challenges during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in July 2020 has since grown into a movement that empowers others to embrace artistry without fear or judgment.
From her middle school days, Ana’s passion for art was undeniable. Creativity has always been her natural language, with painting—especially abstract art—becoming a powerful tool for self-expression and freedom. Influenced early on by her father, a professional photographer, she developed a keen eye for color, composition, and storytelling through both imagery and canvas. Over the years, she refined her artistry through pour paints and plaster mediums, showcasing her work at local markets, pop-ups, and art shows.
But Passionate Expressions is more than just a business—it is Ana’s testimony. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and faced with the limitations of traditional employment, she chose to transform adversity into opportunity. Through her Sip & Paint classes, she offers individuals—especially women—a safe and uplifting space to unwind, express themselves, and connect with others. Beyond classes, Ana shares her personal work, selling original paintings that reflect her journey of healing, growth, and faith.
Looking ahead, Ana envisions Passionate Expressions flourishing into a full-fledged studio and gallery space within the years—a sanctuary where art, faith, and community meet. Her dream is to curate a gallery that highlights her most meaningful works—pieces that capture the milestones, struggles, and triumphs of her life’s journey—while also creating space for others to experience healing and transformation through art. With every brushstroke, class, and collection, Ana continues to honor her belief that art is not just seen—it is felt, shared, and lived.
