About
Originally from New Zealand, Jamie is a self taught artist whose work is produced in graphite pencil. The finest detail is achieved by etching fur or skin texture into the paper and then working over the top of it with darker tones of pencil. A large number of photographs are taken with up to ten pictures being used to create the composition of the drawing whilst also trying to capture The
individual personality of the animal to be drawn.
Jamie first exhibited his work in 2004 and has won a number of awards for his artwork. In a very short period of time a hobby became a profession and with a limited number of originals being available each year his drawings have become highly collectable. Many of Jamie’s
pictures are available as Limited Edition prints in galleries throughout the UK.
Jamie now also produces one off sculptures carved out of plywood. A very striking effect is achieved by first laminating a number of sheets of ply together and then cutting through them to reveal the different layers. The final stage consists of progressively sanding with different grades of sand paper to produce a very smooth finish with a layer of wax to finish the piece.
