Jamie Slack and Friends
Flip through artist Jamie Slack’s photo album or journal and you’ll find an amusing collection of her FUNky friends. Walk through her Ruidoso, New Mexico, studio and you’ll see drawers carefully labeled with a dozen years worth of “stuff” as well as walls and shelves which display creations from Jamie’s imagination. Each cleverly named whimsical character or critter is fashioned from a gourd or found object.
Jamie Slack always wondered what she would be when she grew up. The daughter of a professional dancer, Jamie loved costumes and dressing up. Her gourd sculptures benefit from this flair for the dramatic as well as the solid construction, which was probably influenced by her architect father and her own architectural training.Still a child at heart, Jamie loves to have FUN. She creates pen and ink drawings and greeting cards and records clever words, phrases and ideas in her journal.
Jamie describes herself as the “birth mother” who creates “art for adoption” for the person who falls in love with her whimsical gourd sculpture. Each gourd has its own unique story. In Jamie’s words, “My pieces feed and reflect my spirit.” Your spirit, too, will be uplifted by the sight of Jamie’s whimsical and FUN-ky friends.

to make an appointment at her Studio, or you can visit during the Annual Art Loop Tour.Jamie Ink
