Multiple Ways of Expressing Myself

Previously an elected leader in the Mississaugas of Credit First Nation community from 2015 to 2021. Now living on Manitoulin Island, in Wikwemikong Unceded Territory as a practicing artist.

Education – the Art and Art History joint degree program at University of Toronto Mississauga and Sheridan College. Mediums of oil paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photos.
Artworks are shaped by my own identity as an Anishinaabe kwe, artworks touching on themes of; the dream realm, powwow dancers, clan systems, natural elements, landscapes, figures, sound and abstract forms. Each artwork is influenced by the past and present, showing how life is reflected through the artists eye. Experimenting with paints, fabrics, new application techniques, concepts and materials. The creation process allows for the art to organically live from start to finish. Core motivation is unfolding the identity of self, as a practicing artist to answer who I am, where I come from, what are my gifts to life are. Jamieson takes on the role as a storyteller through her creative artworks and art related projects.
