Jaime is an accomplished scratch board artist. Her work has been in local art shows, international shows, and is now adorning her own home and fashion line with VIDA.
Scratchboard is a medium that has been used since the 19th century. Using a sharp tool, the artist scratches off a thin layer of India Ink to reveal the white clay board underneath. Thousands if not millions of scratches makeup an intricate and elegant piece of artwork.
It is very difficult to photograph scratchboard work due to glare from light; so I want to apologize for some of the imperfect images.
