About Jamieson

Like most men of real genius, Jamieson Cash was born either at a time so perfect for him that its significance is undeniable, or a time so wrong that future generations will sigh in retrospective condolence for a life spoiled by its inescapable surrounding context. Only time will tell.

Raised by Southeast Asian pirates, abducted from a fishing boat off the coast of Hong Kong at age five, Jamieson learned quickly to roll with the punches that life served him, as can be proven by his earliest brush with death.

Jamieson CashAfter learning of the survival of one young American boy, Captain _______ (name omitted at the request of the artist) grabbed the young scallywag by the scruff of neck, intending to throw him overboard. Jamieson fumbled through the pockets of his slacks for anything that he could find to save himself. By chance, his fingers came to rest on a red crayon and a crumpled piece of newspaper, which he quickly produced and proceeded to draw an uncanny resemblance of the aged pirate. The drawing was so striking that Captain ________ set down the young boy and immediately vowed to raise him as his own son.

After numerous years of adventuring and plundering, Jamieson decided to enroll at Rhode Island School of Design. A dubious cohort of his adopted-father gladly forged the necessary documents required for admittance to the school. In college Jamieson discovered clay, something completely foreign to Jamieson during his years upon Jamieson Cashthe ocean, and quickly fell in love with it. Jamieson graduated with a BFA in ceramics in June of 2007 and then proceeded to move south to St. Petersburg, Florida.
