Jamiah Calvin focuses on figurative drawing and painting. He also dabbles with oil on copper. I discovered his gift last year during the unrest over the shocking murder of George Floyd. The aspect of Jamiah’s art that fascinates me the most is the detailed facial expressions of his subjects. I believe all of his portraits have a story to tell.

Jamiah is working on pieces for his upcoming solo shows scheduled for 2022. One of my goals for the new year is to attend at least one of his shows. I can’t wait to see what he brings to 2022!
