From her life-long interest in Western and Native American memorabilia she has seriously devoted herself to portraying the culture and history of the Southwest. She seeks to recreate the mysticism and spiritualism of the West in her paintings and sculpture. Studying, collecting, traveling and exploring the historic ruins of the Southwest and Mexico are sources for her unique creations. Her love of the outdoors has led her to be particularly aware of the many living creatures in her surroundings. Personality combined with historical accuracy is her goal in creating a life-like sculpture.
When viewing her creations, she hopes they will evoke memories and emotions from your own experiences with both wildlife and human beings.
Although she has been sketching and painting from a very early age, Jammey did not begin sculpting until 1982. Since that time she has worked with stone, bronze, clay, polymer,and welded sculpture. Her bronze "Full Circle" won Best of Show at the annual American Plains Artists Show displayed in the Ellen Noel Art Museum. All of her bronze sculptures are cast using the lost wax method. Jammey produces her sculpture in limited editions and keeps the edition numbers low in order to retain the integrity of her work.
Jammey holds a degree in art from Texas Tech University, with graduate studies at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin and Manhattan College. She participates in both invitational and juried shows throughout the Southwest. Her work can be found in both private and corporate collections throughout the United States. Commissioned works are also accepted.
