Jamie Wyeth (James Browning Wyeth, American, born 1946)
A third generation of painters, Jamie Wyeth derives inspiration from his home in Maine. Wyeth is perhaps most well known for a realistic style that pays intense focus on non-human subjects. Initially, Jamie lived and painted in a small home on Monhegan Island formerly owned by Rockwell Kent; however, in the late 1980s, he moved to the Southern Island, where he resides in a restored lightkeeper’s home.
