Jaimie is a lens based interdisciplinary artist. Her work mainly explores place in a spiritual way within the natural world. She also studies nature through still life botanicals. Currently working in digital with edited and some composited images, she prints, and manipulates further with hand-coloring, painting, and sometimes encaustics. Whether representational or abstract, she seeks little mysteries and beauty.
Jaimie has a long use photography of traditional film and silver gelatin and other alternative processes. As a fine art major, she began exploring hand tinting, coloring, and painting of photographs with oils, pencils, and water based media. She used 35 mm, 2 1/4 x 21/4, and toy cameras.
Her work is archival; made with materials for longevity. She has been in many galleries, press, and venues. Pieces are in private, public, and corporate collections. All pieces are in limited editions of 15 or less in one or more sizes.
Jaimie was born in Ohio, and has lived in a variety of places in many states, Europe, and Africa. She earned a BFA from University of Montana with a certificate to teach. She has been an art educator for over 30 years.
