Jamie Day is an oil painter living in Phoenix, Arizona. Her work reveals the authenticity, warmth, and romantic grit of the American West through her portrayal of its animals and landscapes.
Much of her childhood was spent drawing and sharpening her artistic abilities, but Jamie didn’t start painting until 2024 when curiosity drove her to pick up a paint brush. It strongly resonated with her creative spirit and helped her rediscover her desire to observe, experience, and portray the natural world that has captivated her since childhood. She is drawn to the animals that dwell in the canyons, mountains, and prairies and she endeavors to capture their charm, strength, and humility in her work.
Jamie's painting style is best described as representational with a growing degree of western impressionism. She intentionally places intricate details to lead the viewer's eye while also allowing space for simple brushstrokes that may only be noticed by a careful observer. Her paintings are marked by the harmony of this careful balance.
Jamie hopes her paintings faithfully represent the spirit and presence of her subjects, whether it’s a towering cliff, wandering coyote, or singing bird. Jamie is dedicated to stewarding her craft as a painter in the pursuit of fulfilling this hope.
