Bio

A Memphis native, Jimpsie began her career as a stained glass artist and muralist while living in California and Florida. Her later work as a painter of textiles earned her a listing in Who’s Who in California. Since returning to Memphis, she has been exhibiting her work around the region, both at commercial galleries and at independent venues. Most recently, her love of the Southern landscape has led her to the discipline of plein aire painting.

“My hope is to paint sincerely and gratefully and to engender a response to non-verbal truth that will take the viewer beyond the confines of his or her everyday existence. At the end of the day, so to speak, the primary circumstance that draws me to work in paint is the versatility and potential of the medium itself and the ever changing nature of the challenges it presents.”
– Jimpsie Ayres
