Jamie, is an American artist born in Washington, D.C. in 1970. He was educated in the Metropolitan Washington D.C. area and received his art instruction from the prestigious Corcoran School of Art. Upon graduation, Jamie's passion for art lead him to France where he entered a masters program at the University of Lille in northern France. While there, Jamie was inspired by the great abstract expressionist painter Eugene LeRoy, upon which he based his Masters thesis. As a result of his studies, Jamie has become recognized as an expert on the work of Eugene LeRoy. I believe this is oil paint as per label on other one I have by him but it might be gouache or ink. Jamie received an MFA with honors and has remained in Lille, France where he lives and works as a professional artist.
