Emerging artist Jamie Lynn Gilmore was born and raised amidst the rugged agricultural beauty of California’s North Valley. The culturally rich and bountiful town of Chico, spread within the fertile Sacramento Valley, nurtured her creative talents from a very young age. As an only child, she spent much of her time drawing and painting. She holds a Bachelors degree in art from California State University at Chico.  

After doing some traveling in Europe and living in many other places in the Northwest including Eugene, Oregon and Mount Shasta, California, Jamie now resides on the Big Island of Hawaii. Her work was recently selected to be displayed in the prestigious 2005 Artists of Hawaii Exhibition at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Her painting of the Endangered Hawaiian Silversword was awarded acquisition for inclusion in the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts collection.   

All of Jamie’s life experiences, coupled with Hawaii’s amazing botanical palette, have inspired the development of her unique style. The organic symmetry of her home towns’ almond and fruit orchards are evident in the repetition of botanical forms in each of her paintings. The plight of Native Hawaiian endangered plants sparks her environmental consciousness. With her art, she hopes to help educate people about the delicate balance between development and the defenseless botanical world?while creating something beautiful and unique to be enjoyed.
