Jamie Williams Grossman is a Signature Member of New York Plein Air Painters (NYPAP). She serves on the NYPAP Advisory Board and also as the head of their Lower Hudson Valley Chapter. Jamie has taught oil and acrylic painting at Putnam Arts Council, and has served as a member of their Gallery Committee. Her paintings have been featured in USA Weekend, The Journal News, Plein Air Magazine, Putnam County News and Recorder, the Catskill Region Guide, Poughkeepsie Journal, and Bedford Record Review.
Jamie paints mostly in oils and acrylics, but frequently uses other mediums such as pastel, gouache, watercolor and casein. She worked with Golden Artist Colors in the development of their line of Golden OPEN Acrylics, from the time of the first formulations of the product in the lab, until it was launched in the stores.
Jamie nearly always paints from life, with subjects ranging from portraits, homes and figures, to animals, landscapes and still life. Plein air landscapes are her favorite subjects (especially the Hudson River Valley and Catskill Mountains), and she has exhibited in galleries in many areas of New York State and Connecticut. Her teachers are among the most widely known and well-respected artists of our time, including Marc Hanson, Kenn Backhaus, David Taylor, Alvaro Castagnet, Charles Reid, Rae Smith, Alan Reingold, David Dunlop and Wende Caporale Greene.
Jamie paints every day, and although her preference is small format, she works up to 24×36″ on location and in the studio. Her work resides in private collections in Canada and Europe, as well as throughout the United States. She maintains her own studio in the Lower Hudson Valley, but prefers the “outdoor” studio!
