Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jennifer Mosquera. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Jennifer thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

Ever since I was a child I wanted to be an artist. At that time I did not understand that “being an artist” is inherently who we all are. That creativity runs through each of us, even if we do not claim it or see it.

The constraints of making a living and cultural opinion steer so many away from the arts, including me. I let the voices of family and others, as well as society inform my decision while in school.

I found myself as a lawyer in my 20s. I discovered that I was good at litigation, but found no joy in the exercise. By the time I was in my late 20’s I had retired from the law after 3 years and almost 30 trials. What did I learn for myself? I learned that my inner voice was not to be quieted. I learned that if I was to believe in myself I was going to have to depart from the established path into the unknown. I learned that all the social status that comes with a title like “attorney” has no value to me. Rather, that the voice of my heart and creativity is what I need to follow.

I have spent the last 20 years becoming and unbecoming. I have walked in all sorts of lives and have always come back to the creative voice that whispers to me. I have done international and regional art shows, and I have created immersive worlds. I have led teams of artists and I have been lucky enough to watch them change and emerge as well. I am surrounded by interesting people that see the value in what I have helped to create as well as those that take similar risks and who are full life and light. I have helped build a company that is unique and beautiful with a mission, “to harness the power of art to change the way we look at ourselves and the world.” And it seems to me that that mission is one I have been on since I was a child.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Originally from Virginia, I came to Colorado in 1995 to pursue a law degree at the University of Denver. After practicing law as a Denver deputy district attorney for 3 years, I retired at the age of 28.

This was a pivotal step leading me into the realms of product production, interior design, working with craftsmen, exploring the fine arts and designing and producing events. This was a 20 year journey requiring self evaluation, ego death and recreation.

I now create mystical realms with large teams of creatives. I have always been an artist at heart, and I meld my personal interests in philosophy, self-growth and healing into rich and powerful immersive environments.

Prismajic offers quiet, wondrous relaxing spaces to our guests. Our motivation is to soothe, to delight, to inspire wonder and to relax so they can escape everyday stresses and see that there are majical things all around them. We intend that people will feel better when they leave than when they have arrive, and hope they take little piece of majic with them when they return to the outside world.

I am most proud of Prismajic’s effect on guests. I love hearing that the experience is “special” and “I never want to leave”. I know the kind of love, creativity, effort, and experience that goes into these works from the teams that make them, and seeing people feel and speak of this majic, makes me proud of everyone’s efforts.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Prismajic’s mission is to, “harness the power of art to change the way we look at ourselves and the world.” We do this at Prismajic by creating beautiful, immersive and sensory spaces that allow the guest to look inward and reflect on themselves and the environments that we have offered.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

Once the piece is completed and offered to the community, seeing the response! Watching the guests reiterate the intentions that we set forth in making the experience! It is fulfilling to see them understand our intentions and embrace the piece with such affection.
