Artist Bio & Statement

Jamie Bilgo is an artist who works primiarily in painting, printmaking and drawing. Working from her strong intererst of incorporating and reflecting the natural world into everyday life, she frequently references scientific studies, fashion photography, horticulture and collective experiences from travels. Her multi-layered visual interpretations reflect this combination of influence through a variety of media and mark-making. Jamie also studies the balance between formal elements of color in richness, light and transparency.

Creating prints, paintings and drawings simultaneously helps inform her process and pieces, often resulting in several series or multiple studies. Printmaking provides her way of indirect painting, where monotype layers can be combined with more graphic processes of transfers, screenprinting or etching.

Educated in visual art and art history, Jamie received her BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She currently lives, works and is active in the local artist community in Milwaukee.
