HI! I'm Jamie
I was born and raised in Longmont Colorado to two immigrant parents. My Mother is from Mexico and my father is Peruvian. My creative journey did not start until my final year in high school after failing the only class in my entire educational career. It was my 2D art class and from that point forward I decided to explore more artistic passions and fell in love. Later that year I picked up my father's camera and began shooting my cloak series.
My Artwork lives in the surreal realm. Growing up in a diverse household exposed me to unique aesthetics that are prevalent in my work. From the vibrant colors of Peruvian dance dresses to the skulls of the Santa Muerte statues that littered my childhood home. The symbols in my work could be a collection of past memories. Besides memories, my work also focuses on Life, Death, Love, and Dreams. I try to explore all these themes using different mediums like painting, drawing, digital, film, photography, and writing.

B.s. strategic communication Media Design - Cu boulder
Art Director based in Denver, Colorado.
Yeah... I'm not an art school kid. But I did use my crazy brain to create awesome advertising campaigns and yes I was taught the definition of a concept. As a film nerd who has a reference for just about any everyday activity and a passion for finding the best compositions, my focus is in video/film/TV and photography But that doesn't mean I don't like any other forms of advertising. Just like my exploration of art mediums, I love to concept just about anything.
Other spaces I strive in graphic design, UI/UX design, experiential design, and branding,
Let's work together.

What the h*ll is a deal in hell?
A deal in hell is currently the business name I operate under for creative freelance and art-related business. I would love to see the company grow into its own creative agency one day.
