Jaime Zollars is inspired by Fairy Tales and Flemish painters. Her paintings are mostly narrative scenes depicting fictional people and places far away. Though the scenes are fantastic and imagined, the images often parallel experiences and ideas from real contemporary societies.

Jaime’s paintings are a combination of acrylic paint and collage. The collage pieces are sometimes cut out by hand or are scanned and digitally sliced, and then paint is applied on top of the collage, allowing some of the patterns and textures to show through in the final works.

Jaime Zollars has painted images for children’s books, magazines, and newspapers. She also has painted for galleries, including Copro Nason Gallery, Gallery Nucleus, Lunar Boy Gallery, and Black Maria. Jaime has a B.A. in Photography from the University of Maryland, and received a B.F.A in Illustration with distinction from The Art Center College of Design in 2003.
