Hello, I’m Jamie! I am a graduate from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a BS in Art. I love to paint, and I enjoy writing. My first children’s book entitled, “The Adventures of Buffalo Joe and the Blackbird with the Broken Wing” is my first published work and a dream come true. It is available through Homestead Publishing. Or if you’d like a signed copy by yours truly, you can  order one here. My second book, “The Adventures of Buffalo Joe and the Moose in the Mire” is in the works and will be available in the summer of 2020.

Watercolor painting has always been preferred medium– I just love the fluidity and looseness of it! Although since studying illustration, I equally love digitally painting on Photoshop, which can still give me a desired watercolor affect. Put a paintbrush or a wacom tablet pen in my hand and I am one happy girl.

I am a wife to a very smart, hard working husband who loves to cycle and have been happily married 14 years. After traveling around the country (from Colorado to California to Virginia!), we are now settled back in the west close to family, with our busy 7 year old daughter and 3 year old son. We have 2 dogs we treat like part of the family also–a standard schnauzer and a giant schnauzer puppy. Life is busy, but good!

When not totally in mom-mode, I love teaching watercolor classes in my home, and I am always accepting commissions and looking forward to many more artistic endeavors.
