Jamie Walters Kessler is a contemporary post-conceptual artist with an interdisciplinary practice that incorporates thought experiments, object-making, art-actions, intervention, happenings,  new media, sound, video, and social practice. Her artistic practice examines and considers issues of social justice by re-imagining the connection between creativity and civic action. Kessler's practice is influenced by histories and methodologies of community organizing,  democratic practices, collective action, protest culture, DIY informed punk counter-culture ideologies, and art making as a form of both introspection and socio-political activism. 

She has exhibited nationally and internationally through exhibitions such as  The Miller Institute for Contemporary Art, Carnegie Museum of Art, Digital America, The VII International Exhibition of Mail Art, Rome, Mid-America College Art Association, Corner Projects, Chicago, GAZE Film Festival, San Francisco, Rosebud Film Festival of Washington D.C., Ice House Studios PGH, University of Pittsburgh, Robert Morris University, and Feminist Spaces. She is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Art. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, she now lives and works in the Cleveland, Oh area.
