Amy Jamison, an extraordinary watercolor artist is this year's Commemorative Artist. In 2023, she was accepted into the emerging artist program with the St. Louis Art Fair. It opened her eyes to an exciting career of traveling the country to showcase her art. In 2025, she made the hard decision to close her teaching studio and has been traveling since, but still teaches occasionally. She resides in a rural community in Warrenton, MO. Creating has been a therapeutic outlet for Amy, and she hopes her work will bring you a little pop of color with some happiness.
