Alaskan
Artist - Sandy Jamieson |
|
|
For much of the
year, Sandy Jamieson is a working guide and pilot
in the wildest parts of Northern Alaska.
During the dark winter, he retreats to his log
studio to work as an artist and illustrator.
Accurate and
lively paintings of wildlife, bush flying and
other Far North pursuits are seasoned with wry
humor. His images go beyond pretty pictures,
penetrating the lines to a territory where art “has
some hair on it."
His work provokes thought, and often a laugh.
But it consistently shows respect and affection
for the rough- edged people and animals who have
been his fellow travelers in the Alaskan bush
for over thirty years.
When
not exploring around in their Cessna 170 floatplane,
Sandy and his wife Melody are likely to be
found at their home near Ester, Alaska. They
have two grown children, Ben and Abigail, who
live in Fairbanks.
