Jamie Provance
Jamie Provance is an aspiring artist attending her fifth year of college at The Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Lakewood, Colorado as an Illustration Major. She was classically trained as a Fine Artist with a drawing emphasis while attending her first two years of college at McCook Community College in McCook, Nebraska and her third year at The University of Nebraska at Kearney in Kearney, Nebraska. She soon found that the limitations that resided in the Nebraska area for the type of artwork she was wanting to create were forcing her to make a decison to move out further into the world and find a school that offered illustration as a major. So in 2005 she and her husband, Ahren Provance, moved to Westminster, Colorado where they currently reside.
Her personal skills are that of form, value, and contrast. Jamie is an artist that concentrates heavily on technique and execution of the work, but has an intensity for planning out her intentions beforehand. These two aspects of her work compliment each other very well, even though at times the way in which she works sometimes feels "very tedious". Her largest undertaking in her work is trying to find the perfect balance of Fine Art and Illustration together as one. She has set a personal goal to find illustrations that can stand on their own outside of a book as compelling Fine Art, but can also work inside the cover of a book, magazine, or whatever criteria she undertakes.
Jamie's personal style is still being felt out as she continues through school, but more and more the work is starting to connect to itself. In her style she is very selective in what she chooses to shade and how she shades the subject matter in her compositions. This is done deliberately to guide the viewer throughout the story and to start and stop them at the right points.
She hopes to continue exploring all venues and areas of illustration and commercial art. (Read from the artist herself in the latest blog on this page entitled "Jamie's Artist Statement" to find out more about the artist, her work, and her intentions in her artwork.)
