About Jamie

Meet the Artist

I am a Richmond-based watercolor artist. My paintings blend ethereal watercolor washes with expressive ink and occasional metal leaf details.

My music series is a collection of illustrations of instruments, portraits of performers, and abstract paintings inspired by music. My husband, a music educator, inspires many of the musical themes in my work.

Art, Education, and a Weekend at the Harbor: VMEA 2025 Recap

A look back at the 2025 VMEA Conference in Norfolk, where music educators, artists, and performers connected through a shared love of music and art.

Full Circle in Wilmington, North Carolina

Jul 20, 2025

Two decades after my scrappy second student show on Front Street, I returned with AirBadge to help ILM launch their new system. After the work was done I found the old facade where Charlie Brownz once stood and felt art, tech, persistence, and community stand together. Standing there I saw the distance between who I was and who I am: artist, software professional, community builder: coexisting in one bright doorway. Grateful the path wasn’t straight. Grateful to revisit the place that first taught me about connection. Thank you Wilmington!
