JAMIE L. YORK
I had an affinity for art from childhood when my father brought home rolls of paper for me to doodle on with crayon and pencil. At the end of my public school years, I signed up at a Commercial Art Trade School for the next three years in nearby York, Pennsylvania and that influenced my art and imagination. I fell in love with the Fine Arts as opposed to Commercial Art, and studied Surrealism. I did keep my hand in both painting and sculpture and resumed lessons in Watercolors, and in Life Drawing, at the local Art Association in York, Pennsylvania.
After my retirement in the year 2000, I left Pennsylvania for the long move to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here, I could finally find the inspiration to really pursue my love of my particular brand of Oil Painting. Immersion in avenues of Native American culture shaped many of my thoughts. Add to this the influence of other nature-based religions such as Wicca and Druidry, and you see before you the results. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did painting them.
