Michael Arthur Jayme Studio

Michael Arthur Jayme, a fifth generation Sonoran desert dweller, was born in Southern Arizona in 1958. Painting since the age of twelve, this self-taught artist enjoyed his first one-man exhibition in 1982. His work is prized by collectors and is included in such corporate collections as Coldwell Banker, National Band of Tucson, First American Federal Bank, and others.

Jayme’s work is painted predominantly with palette knives and demonstrates great technical skill. In January 2004 he was guest artist at the Southwest Invitational Miniature Show at the Nicholas Wilson Gallery in Tubac. His work was exhibited with five other respected artists at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix during the America West Invitational, “A Room with a View.” In 2002, Michael was guest artist at Rogoway Gallery in Tubac. From 1984 to 1999, Jayme’s art was included annually in the prestigious Mountain Oyster Club Invitational in Tucson.

His style reflects the essence, variety and strength of his native Southwest. His distinctive vision, passion for natural beauty and sense of color work together, to instill an indestructible rhythm and sense of strength in his work. Of his art, Michael says, “My work speaks for my experience of the moment and my creativity is unacquainted with limits. The earth and sky give me what I need. I paint the mountains as I known it. Energy takes over and enables me to bend and curve that stubborn line.”
 

Featured guest artist: Bonnie P. Jaus – Bonnie P. Jaus is a citizen of the world. After ending an almost 40 year career as a federal government employee, with the last 15 years in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, she found herself inspired by the beauty of southern Arizona and was encouraged by her dear friend Michael Arthur Jayme and her husband Fred, to pursue the adventures of creating jewelry. Exposure to the aesthetic of the Middle East has definitely impacted her choice of colors and stones in the pieces of jewelry she is creating.
