JAMI CHILDERS

As a seeker of beauty of all things, my artwork highlights the elegance of our world and the different creatures it inhabits, that is easily overlooked. With over twenty years of experience, I use multiple mediums to capture the radiance of our surroundings including Mixed Media, Acrylic, and Oil paint
