Jamie Kelty

San Francisco artist Jamie Kelty creates multi-layered artworks that are visual short stories. Characters drawn in her sketchbooks are meticulously combined with her original photographs and found matter along with acrylic paint, watercolor and ink. Modifications and transformations give the paintings textural depth. Born in Germany and raised on a farm in Kansas, Jamie's early influences as well as her rich BFA education and experiences as a teaching and exhibiting artist have given her a strong connection to the handmade–her resulting works are at once urban and elemental.
