Jamie Louisa’s artistic style brings a feeling of nostalgia to her viewers while romanticizing small moments in life. The subject matter, use of color, experimental edges, transitions, and movement in her work makes the viewer feel as if they are viewing a memory caught in time. She describes her chosen subject matter as “little things we cannot live without,” encouraging herself and others to live slowly in order to appreciate and truly connect with the little moments in our lives.

“Trauma from my past has resulted in my hyper vigilance, which has made it almost impossible for me to truly feel present in my life. Through my paintings I try to live out these beautiful and candid moments that life has to offer. These are the parts of life that make it worth living. I’m on a healing journey to let go of my overactive mind, in order to feel present in the moment. I think a lot of other people can relate to this feeling.” -Jamie Louisa
