Jamie Young Painting offers Serenity at Baystate Medical Center


Dawn, Connecticut River, Oil, 40 x 96
   
Jamie Young is one of the unsung heros of the Harrison Gallery. With her health restored, Jamie is giving back to the institutions whose talented and compassionate staff nurtured her back to wellness.
   
Dawn, Connecticut River, is a 4 x 7 foot painting that now hangs in the cardiology waiting room at Baystate Hospital, bringing comfort and a sense of spirituality to family members while they wait.

These sketches bring Jamie’s process to us. She uses watercolors and oils en plein aire to capture the light, the palette, and the essence of her composition. Jamie has the most capable of visual and visceral memories. Once in the studio, she works very large, with a sense of freedom and movement. Jamie once shared with me, “I just try to get out of the way, and then let it rip!”

Apple a la Mode is Young’s newest large scale work, currently included in our Young Collector show.
