Jamia Weir 

(b. 1981, Connecticut) is a multi-disciplinary artist-teacher who often playfully explores the chaos of waste and recyclable materials, both in her own work and with her K-4 artist-students. Jamia received an MA of Art Education from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2014. Her thesis work about Arts Integration and Eco-Art Education was published in 2016 in the national journal Art Education, in an article entitled “The Way the Light Hits a Web,” consequently quoted in the U.S. Department of Education’s quarterly newsletter.  She obtained a Fund For Teachers fellowship to attend The International Center For the Arts in Umbria, Italy also in 2016.  Most recently, in 2017, Jamia became an artist-in-residence at the Vermont Studio Center, returning to the location of her undergraduate work. She currently works in Los Angeles, CA at Keystone Art Space.
