Ink and Encaustic Painting on Canvas with Hand Stitching

Jamie Speck is a Rockport-based mixed media artist, whose inspiration is as varied as her materials—it is found in her every day experiences, routines, and environment. She has won local, state, and national awards for her exhibited artwork, which often incorporates domestic elements and techniques, such as hand-stitching. Jamie completed her undergraduate work at Texas State University, where she majored in Studio Art and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.F.A. in 1999. In December of 2002, she received her master’s degree in painting and drawing from Stephen F. Austin State University. She has been a part-time online instructor for Blinn College since the Fall semester of 2002. Jamie is currently completing her post-master’s study at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi, toward the terminal M.F.A. degree.
