Jaime Zollars is an artist inspired by flea markets, fairy tales, and Flemish painters. She creates collage and acrylic paintings for children’s books, magazines, and gallery walls. She has been featured in many books and publications, including Communication Arts, DPI magazine, and Taschen’s Illustration Now. She also teaches illustration at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore.

Jaime began navigating the indie craft world when a printmaking class left her with a bunch of extra prints without homes. She was hooked, and four years later, Jaime is developing a line of prints, posters, and functional art for the retail and wholesale market, and is thrilled to be a part of this emerging and talented community of artists. When Jaime is not painting, teaching, or running after her one-year old, you may find her constructing little paper toys, or at least writing about them on her paper arts blog, paperforestblog.com

Jaime will be speaking at the Summit of Awesome on the Navigating the Art world with Craft panel and selling her beautiful illustrations at the Show of Awesome.
