Juno, also known as Jaclyn Martinez, is a multidisciplinary artist and therapeutic arts practitioner based in Moncton, New Brunswick. Her work explores the transformative power of blending therapeutic arts, personal mythology, and symbolic storytelling through painting, mask making, sculpture, and video. She’s drawn to themes of identity, transformation, and the release from the things that keep us small, whether that’s internal patterns like fear and self-doubt, or external pressures like cultural expectations and inherited beliefs.

With a bold colour palette and vivid neon hues, Juno expresses a deep desire to take space, be seen, and channel emotional energy in ways that feel both thrilling and vulnerable. Recurring archetypal symbols drawn from flora, fauna, and myth reflect cycles of growth and change, revealing how universal themes echo through personal experience. She’s especially inspired by the way personal symbolic language can emerge within these mythic landscapes, offering clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to the self.
