Bio

Raised in Riverside, California, Jaime started her exploration of ceramics in high school. During her pursuit of an A.A. in Studio Arts, she stumbled upon sculpture at Los Angeles Mission College and found her passion for making 3D artwork. After transferring to California State University, Northridge to obtain her B.A., Jaime decided to combine her love of ceramics with sculpture, focusing on Multimedia art.

Artist Statement

Bearing witness to cycles of life, death and rebirth, my work explores ritual as a way to cope with grief and loss.

My mixed media sculptures are created using commercial and handmade molds often incorporating ceramic, wax, found animal remains, and plants.

Utilizing imagery of broken hearts, maternal figures, and bone I touch on themes of grief, healing, and the ever-lasting impact of death.
