Description:

Barbara Jamison has developed a method of working with liquefied acrylic paints that is truly unique. She floats paints on water which sits on the canvas laid flat on a table. Paints are moved with palette knives, by blowing through a straw and even by heating with a torch. Stunning and varied natural organic images develop on the canvas through this methodology. Join CLE for a private studio visit and demo at her log cabin studio and gallery in the Trillium Village area of Cashiers.

Location: Private Studio

Presenter: After a 20-year career as a successful senior marketing executive, Barbara Jamison retired, switching left brain to right. Always fascinated with Art, she joyfully leapt into Sculpture and Painting, studying clay, pastels, and oils. She was on a search for the right medium and style to express her passion for Nature. She found both in acrylics, but instead of using paints in the conventional manner, she experimented with a fresh, artistic expression which led her to her place, her passion, and her natural aquatic-organic world. Paint pulls her to her studio every day with a promise of soul-satisfaction and amazing discovery. Barbara has just recently been appointed to the Board of The Bascom in Highlands NC. She now resides in Cashiers, NC with her husband, Jim. The Chamber of Commerce recently recognized Barbara with an Award for Advocacy of Arts & Culture in Cashiers.
