nice to meet you!
My name is Jamie Lupia, but you can call me Jam! I am an Italian-Canadian writer and illustrator creating out of Ontario, Canada. I have my BA in creative writing, and have been drawing for what feels like my entire life. My working background is mainly creative writing, journalism, copywriting, and non-profit community engagement. Through this work, I have seen nothing but the need for more creativity, more humanity, and more openness. In return, I believe that the best art is so expansive that after engaging, your world becomes figuratively bigger and better. That is the goal here! Creativity is a gift that I am privileged to have -
I am so excited to get to share it with you.
core values:
peace, compassion, growth, sustainability, authenticity, intimacy, impact
During my undergraduate, I found solstice in the boundaries between art and activism. I became invested in local issues such as biodiversity offsetting, Indigenous treaty infringements, underserved communities, animal liberation, and climate change. It took me a long time to find balance in both art for purpose, and art for joy. When I am not playing with those binaries, you'll find me cooking, rock climbing with my friends, writing snail mail to loved ones, being a velcro mom to my magical daughter, or in the forest searching for where the sun peeks through the trees. I hope to see you there, too.
In solidarity,
Jam
