Margaret Jamison’s artistic processes have included ceramics, cut paper, collage, scratchboard, painting, drawing and mixed media. She has also worked with a variety of printmaking techniques and has had several sets of fine art silkscreen prints produced and marketed nationally.
The resources this artist draws upon for her imagery are no less diverse than her art making processes, ranging from the concrete to the conceptual. In the cross-section of her work displayed here, elements such as voodoo, Jungian psychology, and autobiogra- phy mix as a visual anthology of the stories of life, love, and internal journeys which her series seek to tell. Margaret Jamison was born and raised in Walla Walla and graduated from Whitman College in 1974 with a degree in Art/Art History. She earned an M.A. in Art Education from Seattle University in 2000. Jamison has exhibited in Seattle and Southeastern Washington, with solo shows in Walla Walla and Pendleton, Oregon. She is currently slated for a solo exhibition in Sasayama, Japan in October 2009. In addition to her exhibitions, Jamison’s artistic practices have involved her in a variety of other venues including advertising, book and magazine production, illustration, graphic design, teaching and arts administration.
