Standing at my table I feel water over the tops of my feet, I look out across a lake, 2024

Skye Jamieson’s work engages with water, light and her environment. Her painting and drawing practice can be understood as a restorative and reflective process. Incorporating ceremony and intuition into her making, she offers the space for serendipity and balance to come forward as a co-creating power. Jamieson often allows for the aura of a work to appear first, then makes the work in relationship to this. Blue, oils, and stone are recurring visual elements in her work, just as they are recurring motifs in the environment where she lives.
