✿ What's your name and how did you get started in this field?
My name is Jamie, my friends call me Jambo, and somewhere down the road that turned into Miss Bojambo. On that same road, I went from entering elementary school art competitions with colored pencil drawings of my cat to being a fine artist. I feel incredibly fortunate to have known my passion all my life.
✿ When did you first discover your creative talents?
No surprise here, I have always been passionate about drawing, painting and creating in general. I was inspired to become a better artist when at a very young age, my artwork impressed both adults and other kids. Those special moments of having the spotlight are what made me realize that I had an undeniable talent for something I loved to do.
✿ Could you tell us about some of your work?
My work is largely centered around myself, my experiences, my imagination and interests. I find myself drawn to creating portraits. Each portrait I create, whether of myself, someone or something else, is a way to explore myself as well as stretch my imagination and explore the character I am creating in my work. My work is also inspired by feminine and organic themes and at times can be rather cheeky.

✿ What inspires you to keep going and what keeps you motivated?
Life is full of inspiration and really living is the cure to the uninspired.  For me, creating is essential to maintaining happiness. I feel so alive and satisfied when I am able to work. While inspiration swirls all around me, it is in fact deadlines that motivate me to buckle down and commit to completing my work.
✿ Any influences or anyone you look up to?
 I look to Frieda Kahlo, Henri Rousseau, and Egon Schiele.
