Jamie graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, with a BA with a focus on painting. Working in leather allows her to translate her training in 2-dimensional art into 3-dimensional leather art. Being a fabric artist has different freedoms than painting, it’s an addictive process in a very unforgiving medium. She sees designs in leather, as she sees ideas on a blank canvas. The organic edges and qualities of full grain hides inspire her designs which are dynamic and always evolving. Crisscrossing ideas of colors and designs make up the foundation of Luna Jaze. http://www.lunajaze.com          

 

Successfully juried into the guild in April, 2002.  Been set up for nearly every F.I.P. since, with varying success.  I am a self-taught leatherworker, with my own approach to what makes “Fine Craft”, and you’ll not find much like it elsewhere.  My prices are fair, and my guarantee is iron-clad:” Unless you feed it to the dog, or run over it with the lawnmower, I will endeavor to fix it, or get you your money back.”
