On the off chance that you've never listened to a podcast or don't get why anybody would want to, here are some facts: (1) Podcasts are convenient. It's a recording that is available to you whenever and wherever you'd like to listen. You can pause, stop, start, fast forward, and rewind. Stream it through Apple Music or any podcast service. (2) Podcasts are great for listening to while making art. They provide intellectual stimulation and create a bit of company (like hanging out with friends) without the visual distraction of the TV. (3) Podcasts can inspire and educate you. I often find myself jotting down notes when I listen to a podcast. There's so much I want to remember.
If you enjoy the podcast, please give us a shout out on instagram or facebook. This helps other people find the show. Thanks so much!
Jackie Jimerson…
…is a mixed media artist and designer.
She found her way to mixed media through papercrafting about five years ago, and it has continued to feed her love for learning and experimenting with no end in sight.
After a few years of creating mixed media art, Jackie realized that she also enjoys making for makers, so she opened The Artisan’s Caché on Etsy. There she sells her stencils, stamps, hand-bound journals, and carefully curated ephemera packs.
In early 2020, she joined the Gel Press Creative Team where she is able to let her passion for gelatin printing reach a wider audience.
Jackie lives in a south suburb of Chicago, Illinois with her son, where she works full time as an IT Data Specialist.
Here is some info about Pass the Brush:
- “Pass the Brush” is the mixed media community's version of "Share the Mic Now." The objective of this event is to show solidarity within the mixed media community and to amplify black mixed media artists so their voices can be heard and their art can be seen by a broader audience.
- On July 17 & 18 Jackie will be taking over my Instagram and Facebook accounts in order to share her art and her story.
- As part of Pass the Brush, there will be giveaways of some fun art goodies, including a $200 gift certificate to my online classroom.
- Jackie and I will be doing an Instagram LIVE together on Friday, July 17 at 1pm EST. It will last about 45-minutes and we will be making art and taking your questions. You can follow me on instagram HERE and Jackie HERE.
I hope that you will join Jackie and me for the live event on Friday. We'd love for you to be there!

I could really relate to the conversation in this Podcast. Especially about doing research. I love researching and understanding techniques. I am doing index card a day challenge and I dedicated the time to creating ICADS in the Mid Century Modern genre. Well let me tell you, there is so much to know and explore. This week I am studying African American mid century modern artists a little know group, but very intriguing. Thank you Julie for participating in #passthebrush and for your support of the Aftican American community. I have followed you for years and watched you on TV. I really appreciate the person that you are. Please tell Jackie that if she were to research African American artists, she will find that most have been underestimated for years. Now is the time for us to step forward, and artists like you are a great help for this.

Are there any African American designers in the industry? I look at company like Ranger and there are none. This is opening my mind. I must do more research.

I’d love this conversation and the community support for #passthebrushart. You ladies made me smile today. I have been following both of you for sometime and throughly enjoy the art you both create. Thank you.

I savored this extra long episode! I’m actually a proud owner (& happy customer) of some stencils by Jackie. I also purchased a set of Dylusion spray inks from her a while back (I now suspect this was when she decided to move away from color – haha).
I am very excited about the #PasstheBrush series. I (sadly) didn’t realize how many amazing artists (& art) I was missing out on. I am so happy to be following so many new-to-me Black creatives, since seeing an Instagram account that posted hundreds of accounts to check out. And #PasstheBrush will surely lead me to more!
Earlier in the year, I do remember coming across a couple of youtube videos by a Black Scrapbooker, and thinking “oh wow!” when I saw the black hands come onto the screen. It was definitely a pleasant surprise…but the fact that it was a surprise makes me realize how skewed the algorithms (amongst other factors) are. It’s almost like they help us stay in our sheltered bubbles.
One last note – I truly appreciate the candid conversation about race/racism and “fear” vs Fear (with a capital F, as Julie said), at the end. Yes, this is an Art podcast – but it has 3 intelligent women full of wisdom and life experience on it – so thank you for sharing & “going there”. I think everyone (artists, and non-artists) needs to get more comfortable talking about race/racism & how it has impacted their lives. It shouldn’t be so taboo or off-limits…that’s part of what got us in the mess we’re currently in! So, thank you for modeling how to do it! Great episode, ladies!
