Artist Statement
Jamie Boyd
Born in Victoria, Australia 1948. Jamie Boyd studied at the Central School of Art and Design, London in the 1960s. As a painter he continues the tradition of the greater Boyd family who have collectively made such a profound contribution to Australian Art. It is however, equally significant that Jamie Boyd has established such a firm reputation as a painter in his own right. Jamie has lived most of his adult life in London, returning to Australia periodically, his distinctive work thus reflects both the enduring influences of the Australian landscape and broad international sensibility. Jamie regulary visits the Boyd property at Shoalhaven, where he is reunited with the surrounding landscape and its almost intangible beauty and strength. A skillful painter his work has achieved popular success and has held 33 sold exhibitions since 1966 in Australian Capital Cities and in London, Germany, Holland and Italy. His work has appeared in numerous group exhibitions largely with Galleries in London and Australia.
