Jamie Titus- Artistic Director
Jamie is based in New York City and Perpignan. As Artistic Director of Renaissance2 Jamie spearheads our artistic community, teaches on the Galatea program and contributes to our design programs. She is something of a renaissance woman in an age of specialists.
To give you some idea of Jamie’s experience, she has:

• Remarkable People

• Breadth of Life Experience- embraced many paths as a musician, artist, lawyer, philosopher, linguist and traveler. Jamie studied piano from an early age, yet did
not completely devote herself to musical pursuits, dividing her time by competing in show jumping and painting. After several years of equestrian competition, academia called in the form of the study of Philosophy and International Politics at University of Pittsburgh where she graduated first in her class. There, she also became immersed in the study of Chinese culture, an interest that led her to study in Beijing. After a brief sojourn at the State Department, Titus took up the academic mantel again, this time studying Law at Columbia University. Successfully adapting to the rigours of law, she joined Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, a leading Wall Street Law firm.

• Artistic Achievements- Yet all of this activity did not quell a lifelong yearning for the tools with which to examine reality and to express the mysteries of form. Inspired by Bertrand Russell and others who saw the profound value of geometrical and musical proportions and ratios for understanding the phenomenal world, Titus drew from her philosophical training and love of classical music and began to articulate her ideas through a system of complex glazes on canvas. After searching for teachers who could help her with these techniques of the past, she determined that, for her, the best teacher was observation and experimentation.

Jamie’s work has been exhibited at major galleries and exhibitions in New York, Chicago and London. She founded ARIUM, New York's latest downtown venue for the arts, in 2006, and acted as its first artistic director until late 2007. She now devotes her time to painting and teaching.
