Jamie Shaw

I was born in London, in 1986, and grew up in several cities across the south of UK, in my adult life I have moved from Brighton, London and Bristol, and I'm now living in the North East of England. 

Despite an early interest in visuals arts I did not feel well suited to academic education in Fine Art and after trying a few other subjects, resolved to learn and develop my skills as an artist through sheer practice. This quickly led to an active output, taking part in fairs, group and solo exhibitions and collaborations across the country, and took me from Brighton to to a vibrant live/work warehouse community in East London and then on to Bristol. 

I am now based in the North East and continuing my ever evolving journey as an abstract painter alongside my career as a motion graphics artist, with a specialism in performance visuals and projection mapping. I am also exploring the intersections of my painting practice and these parallel digital skills.
