Elizabeth Jameson spent her childhood in Japan where she was exposed to such arts as flower-arranging, the tea ceremony, and calligraphy. That experience was instrumental in the development of her love for an aesthetic of simplicity and restraint. Her drawings are based on a minimal and considered use of line and form, and their pictorial subjects, though fantastic, embody concepts of fear, excess, and humanity.
Ms. Jameson received her B.A. in art at Western Washington University, in Bellingham, Washington. She later attended Mills College in Oakland, California where she received her M.F.A in sculptoring.
Since 1996 her work has appeared in several solo, group, and juried exhibitions on the West Coast and, while in the Tophat Shine Artist Residency Program, in Vienna, Austria. In 1996 her work appeared in The Wingluke Asian Museum catalogue Beyond the Rock.
In 1997 Elizabeth received the San Francisco Foundation Cadogan Scholarship and followed that with a number of awards, among them being the Mills College Jay DeFeo Award for outstanding MFA graduate, the Seattle Arts Commission "Seattle Collects 1999" purchase award, and the Best of Show award at the Pacific Northwest Arts Council juried exhibition "Phresh".
