Girl Math by Sarah Jamison


Sarah Jamison’s artwork represents her enduring interest in art history, culture, and digital media, and, recently, increasingly includes autobiographical elements. Expanding the artist’s repertoire of materials to include airbrush alongside colored pencil, acryla gouache, ink, and acrylic, each artwork probes themes that include expectations and realities, tropes and truths, and the pursuit of meaning. Sarah utilizes images sourced from the public domain and personal tokens; these objects operate as both symbol and narrative in her work. 

Sarah Jamison received her BFA in 2010 from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC. In 2017, her work was featured on the Smithsonian’s Folklife website as part of the 50th Anniversary of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Sarah’s solo exhibitions include IA&A at Hillyer, Latela Curatorial, and Capitol Hill. Arts Workshop in Washington, DC and A Hurd Gallery in Albuquerque, NM. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions domestically and internationally. Sarah continues to live and create in the Nation’s Capital.
