Jamie Tate is an abstract artist residing in Mississippi.

Jamie's seeds of creative inspiration are almost always planted by her observations of the fields, the forests, the people, and the cultures that make up the "Crazy Quilt" of the Mississippi Delta. Landscapes are at the heart of Jamie's work - her personal interpretation of the Mississippi Delta - evolving over the years from representational work to the contemporary and abstract style of today.

Jamie has received numerous awards for her art and continually presents her works at solo exhibits and group exhibits. She is a founding member of the Delta Artists Association in Mississippi, currently holds Board of Director seats on the Greenville Arts Council and the Mississippi Art Colony. She has previously held Board of Director seats for art associations in Texas and Arkansas.
