JAMIE KIRKELL:
ORIGINAL SILK SCARF PAINTINGS
OPENING WEEKEND OCTOBER 20-21-22
Jamie Kirkell’s life as a silk painter can be traced to the 1960s around his time as a Peace Corp volunteer in the Philippines and Java, where he developed a strong interest in orchids. At this same time, apprenticing under Indonesia Batik Master, Bambang Oetoro, set Kirkell on a path as a silk painter with an emphasis on flower designs, geometric patterns, and vibrant colors.

Back in the States, Kirkell opened a silk painting studio in New York City and the studio grew exponentially with his work being sold at galleries and museum gift shops throughout the US and Israel. Today Kirkell’s studio is located in Sarasota, Florida, and he specializes in colorful capris and leggings, large floral paintings, and radiant silk and poly chiffon scarves.
In addition to being a renowned artist, Jamie Kirkell is a masterful teacher, sharing his craft and skill in workshops throughout the country, including at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point, Wisconsin.
