Jamie Richey is a Cleveland-based photographer, mixed media artist, writer and creative marketing professional. Raised in Northeast Ohio, Jamie has bounced from here to the south and back earning a BA in film and photography from Elon University. Her time after graduation consisted of freelance film gigs, photography studio work and some commercial publishing before heading back South to earn her Master of Arts degree in Art History with a photography concentration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her interest in teaching led her into museum education working in museums in Savannah, GA and Dothan, AL during which time she curated art exhibits with an educational focus. On the side, Jamie continued to exhibit her photography while also working as a production assistant on the occasional indie film. Returning to Ohio in 2014 Jamie has been steadily building her portfolio with a concentration in mixed media photography and now works in marketing. She is eager to find herself on another film set and looking forward to the next exhibit or collaborative art project!

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.
