BIO

Jamie Bird (he/him) is a white trans masculine artist born and raised on the central California coast, currently residing in Tucson, Arizona. His primary mediums are poetry writing and zine making.

His art is driven by his own search for belonging in a big confusing world and a desire to celebrate lesser seen beauties such as awkward teenage girls, queers and elderly people. He has a Bachelor's degree in Public Health from Cal State L.A. and eleven years of experience working in long term healthcare.

If his work were a drink he hopes it would taste like ocean water, mixed with roadtrips, desert sunsets, forests, coming of age nostalgia, grandparent love, gay bar and straight bar heaven on earth nights, loneliness, falling in love, adventure, heartbreak, with just a little bit of grit. He is currently working on his first poetry chapbook "Teenage Girl Screams".

Artists that inspire his work include Olivia Gatwood, adrianne maree brown, Kai Cheng Thom, Prentis Hemphill, Ezra Furman, Paul Baribeau, Adrianne Lanker, Tuck Woodstock, Dusty Brandt Howard, Ryan Cassata, Ezra Michel, Andrea Gibson, Megan Falley, Glennon Doyle, Merlyn Moreno, Dakota Maxwell, Morgan Laumeister, Liam Burden, Maya, Rainbow Scorpion Fish, Terrill Yazzie, Vhal P, Evan M. and A.M., Erick, Linden Miles, Rebecca,
