Jamie, Local Artist

Jamie is an artist of the Fresno-area and she is excited to be teaching at Allard’s! Jamie’s art activities and lessons are influenced by her time working in museums and art education centers, and she enjoys leading projects that are inspired by nature, artists of the past and present, and the environments we live in. When teaching lessons on techniques or mediums, she also encourages students to make choices that allow them to make the project their own. As a practicing artist, Jamie often works in mixed-media drawing and painting, and she has exhibited her work at ArtHop and beyond. She received her BA in Studio Art and her MFA in Visual Art from Azusa Pacific University.
