Purple ART: JAY MIRIAM: FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES

Jay Miriam is an expressionist oil painter from Brooklyn, NY. She focuses on nude women. All of her work is sketched and then painted with nothing traced. Her colors are completely her own, as she mixes them herself. If the model is not in front of her she paints from memory and feeling. A kaleidoscope of imagery and emotion fill every piece. When you see a Jay Miriam, you know it is by her hand without asking or searching for a signature. Viewing her work is an invitation to a world both familiar and foreign. A warmth of color, depth, and emotion is felt by the observer as their eye meets her work. One cannot help but feel they are being let into a private moment, as important to the viewer as it is the figure on the canvas.
