ABOUT ME
WHO I AM and WHAT I DO:
Thanks for stopping by my site! My name is Jamie and I am multimedia artist and educator based in Queens, NY.
I am someone who feels most whole creating pieces that have bold colors, maximalist imagery, mindful processes, and emotional/cognitive authenticity. I enjoy creating spaces that are high energy and can also simultaneously hold room for exploration and reflection.
Right now, most of my days are spent teaching, sharing creativity with students, and learning from them just as much as they learn from me.
Making art remains a space and time where I can be free and have fun, as well as reflect on my feelings, queerness, experiences, and the world around me.
When I am not in the classroom or working on a new piece, you might find me out on a walk with a camera in hand, people watching and enjoying the deep complexities of humans, or giggling to myself over some absurd thought that no one else heard.
Additionally, I am often trying new art processes, going to gallery shows and events, writing feelings, thoughts, and poems (even though I’m a novice writer), learning something new, adoring cats, hiking/being in nature, going to cafes and new food spots, and listening to music.
