• Jamie
submitted a grant to the DC Arts Commission to help defray the costs of
a professionally-printed catalogue for his new series "Provocations."
Look for the catalogue to be done in late 2003.

of Jamie's pieces was selected for the Corcoran Museum of Art's Corner
Views Gallery in January 2003 and also was included in 2003 WPA/ Corcoran's
Artist Directory.

• Coming
off two critically acclaimed solo shows in 2002, Olga Viso, Curator for
Contemporary Art at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, invited Jamie
to submit slides for review by the curatorial committee. Very exciting.
• Jamie's
solo show at the Fraser Gallery (www.frasergallery.com) in October generated
a lot of positive criticism. Bill Dunlap on the PBS show "Around Town"

out the press page for more reviews.) Kate and Lenny, the owners of the
Fraser Gallery and good friends, agreed to host Jamie's wedding rehearsal
reception when the show was up.

October 2002, Jamie was the featured artist in the CultureFlux Gallery
(www.cultureflux.com) on the Internet.
• The
New Light Gallery (www.newlightgallery.com) in Abingdon, Virginia, agreed

Abingdon is a great artistic town and well worth a visit.

was nominated for the 2002 Whitney Biennial.
• The
20 North Gallery in Toledo, Ohio, agreed to represent Jamie in 2001, include
his work in tours of regional museums and host a solo show of Jamie's

this new gallery affiliation.
