Michael Arthur Jayme, a fifth generation Sonoran desert dweller, was born in southern
Arizona in 1958. Painting from a very early age, this self-
Jayme’s work is painted
predominately with palette knives and demonstrates great technical skill. His work was exhibited with five other respected artists at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix during the America West Invitational, “A Room With a View.” In 2002 Michael was guest artist at Rogoway Gallery in Tubac. From1984,to 1999 Jayme’s art was included annually in the prestigious Mountain Oyster Club Invitational in Tucson.
His paintings reflect the essence, variety and strength of his native Southwest. His distinctive vision, his passion for natural beauty, and his sense of color work together to instill an indestructible rhythm and sense of strength in his work.
Of his art Michael says, “My work speaks for my experience of the moment and my creativity is unacquainted with limits. The earth and the sky give me what I need. I paint the mountain as I know it. Energy takes over and enables me to bend and curve that stubborn line.”
