Jamie graduated from Ross Sheppard High School and then on to Alberta College. In 1978 she moved to Vancouver for a couple of years, and then set her sights on Amsterdam where she attended Rietveld Academie for Fine Arts, from 1980 to 1988. Jamie graduated from the Ontario College of Art in Toronto in 1990, and then moved to New York (1990-1997) where she earned a Master of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts. She has been living in Vancouver ever since.

“I am currently sub-letting 18 fine art studios to local artists, designers, and a couple of tattooists!

I have raised 2 Lhasa Apsos, Lazlo and Izzy, and see dog rescue in retirement as well as travel if we ever get the shot in BC.” Jamie is “single, free as a bird and loving it”.

Fond memories of TT:

• Spaghetti Mondays
• Birthday cupcakes from Bon Ton Bakery
• “Rubber tires never wreck”
• Sliding down the bannister to the lunchroom
• Debbie Katz and I hiding in the closet in grade 4 and getting caught and sent to Mr. Chetner, Mr. Yedlin and so many more

Jamie is still in touch with Jonathan Miller, Rob Edelmann, Marcia K., several folks on Facebook, and bumped into Howie Cooper on the streets of New York City, on “8th Avenue I believe, that was a shocker!”.
