Jami Akers

I have a Masters in Fine Arts/Foreign Languages. I sold my first painting for $300 at age 14, and from there, I was hooked after that. I have lived and exhibited, as well as taught, in the following places: Iceland, Germany, CA, UT, OH, IA, and now Oregon. Being a former military brat and married to a military man, I have had the pleasure of traveling all over the states as well as Europe. My paintings are hanging in Germany, IN, TN, CA, TX, CO, UT, as well as here in Oregon. I started out painting portraits in the 60’s,paid for my college tuition by painting and selling my works. Now that I am retired, I find myself painting for myself. I am a former teacher (English- French-German-Art), as well as a retired Graphic Designer. I also collect painting by other artist and occasionally do design work as well as whatever strikes my fancy.
