Education Tour - Tournée Educative


Ontario Education Tour
The tour started in beautiful Haliburton and it's fall landscapes.
Fleming College welcomed me in to teach Historical Process.
In other words Old School photography. Way back, old school...
On the agenda. Cyanotypes, Van Dyke Browns & one of my favorite's
Wet Plate Ambrotypes. All this mixed in with large format photography.

The next leg was with my franco-ontarien friends at RÉFO
(regroupement des étudients franco - ontarien).
Four dates, four different cities (
Collège Glendon, UOttawa, Université Hearst, Collège Boréal)
bring the team of Mique Michelle (Graffiti Arts), Aimée (Mixed Media)
& Myself (photography), to campuses in Toronto, Ottawa, Timmins and
Sudbury. Here I got a chance to play with some Poloroid art with
Lazor print transfers. The idea being, to merge new and old photographic
techniques.

All the while,  sprinkled in these dates and ending this semesters off at
 École Secondaire Publique De La Salle. With various classes, comes
various workshops. Camera Obscura, 35mm Black & White Photography,
Darkroom/Studio & Photographic Silk Screen.

A very busy, yet amazing experience.
Everybody was very welcoming and the results outstanding.

Hirundininae: Ruelle Verte

On October 6th 2023 in Windsor Ontario during Free for All Walls… I went down with a heart attack all while I was painting a Mural. After 6 weeks of recovery with many ups and downs both physically and mentally. I pulled myself together, made a deal with myself that life on the other side of this episode can only get better. My goal: come back better and stronger. Allowing everything to take its time and leaving myself open to continue exploring my creativity. Yesterday for the first time since Windsor I painted a Mural. With the amazing help from the best team mate, friends and talented hand  @jshantzart  Jeremy I can’t thank you enough for giving me the confidence to jump back on the horse. Push my style even further and continually being a positive and understanding human. Your the best.

National Gallery of Canada

Three years later, Jamie’s leaving the education department of the National Gallery of Canada. Changes have come to the department, and I must move on. Today was my last day. I’m sad it happened this way. I had three great years here. Giving guided tours, in community workshops, studio workshops and kiosks for ALL age groups. This environment has pushed me to get back to many art forms I had forgotten; Silk Screening, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpting and pretty much anything else you can think of in the visual art world. Worked with some amazing people, experienced some world class art first hand, but now it’s time. Much love to all of you, I learned so much in such a little time. images courtesy of Staff, Rebecca Miller & MIV Photography for the National Gallery of Canada
