Jamie Richey is a Cleveland-based fine art photographer, curator, and creative generalist. Originally from Northeast Ohio, she earned a BA in Film and Photography from Elon University before returning to Cleveland to pursue work in freelance film, studio photography, and commercial publishing.
Jamie later moved south to complete an MA in Art History with a concentration in photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design. During this time, she transitioned into museum education, teaching and curating educationally focused exhibitions in Savannah, GA, and Dothan, AL.
Throughout her career, Jamie has maintained a consistent art practice, exhibiting her photography in galleries and publications while occasionally working as a production assistant on indie films and commercials. Now firmly rooted back in Ohio, she continues to build her portfolio with a focus on black and white photography across various genres, including street, nature, travel, and mixed media.

​
The amalgam of visual stimuli which Jamie Richey has chosen to exhibit screams for a personal and subjective interpretation, translation and codification while paradoxically savoring its own autonomy as an abstract, angular and technically virtuosic manifesto of visual expression. The artist’s most stimulating images emit an ego-less mystique of manipulated conservatism, which is exploited to create a visual dissonance comparable to that of Barbara Kruger. I pensively suggest another metaphor (for those of you who are sonically inclined) of the transient trumpeter Dave Douglas. However, I offer these loosely sculpted associations as a device to increase our artistic receptivity – not to perpetuate our societal fetishism with classification, which inadvertently places devious stigmas on the work of complex and intriguing artists, which Jamie Richey will inevitable be a part of.
