Cool Artist: Jaimee Newman

I had an awesome opening this past week of a young, talented new artist that you should check out, Jaimee Newman.

She constructs collages based on literature, poetry, or just a concept. The above collage is from a Haruki Murakami short story. When I heard that, it sealed the deal, I am a devoted follower. I feel art is connected to words, music, movement, and basically all creative activity.

Words connote images and Jaimee does an excellent job of executing those images through colorful papers.

Jaimee has been doing a new series of large portraits of famous people which I think she should definitely develop. Way cool.
And then there are her dogs…

She captures the soul and essence of the message. Check out her artwork at her site here, and by the way, I created her website. If you are interested in my web design, contact me.
