Art, From the Heart of Jamie Hand

Describing yourself is a challenge. You have to let people you do not know *meet* you and hope that the impression you give is good. Jamie's mom, Neva, shared the charcoal drawings that Jamie did for her architecture classes at Texas A&M. She also sent along the *Word self-portrait* that Jamie turned in when applying to be a counselor at Camp Howdy Girl Scout Camp in the Brazos Valley. Meet Jamie as she thought of herself..


Physically, I’m about 5'6”, blue eyes, hair color is...often changing...originally dark brown, but currently light brown/blonde. I think a good way to get an idea of who I am is to know what I like to do, so here are a few things that mold me into the person I am. I like: Softball...could I mention that I was on a State Champ softball team this past summer?..., Baseball, Football, Gymnastics, Sleeping...as late as possible..., Eating...especially pancakes, ice cream, Papa John’s pizza, chili hot dogs with mustard and relish, and anything with whipped cream...well, almost anything..., Drawing...mainly actual objects instead of cartoon-like characters...,

Painting...especially using paint markers to add some color to jam boxes and softball helmets..., Decorating, Watching Movies, Acting...putting on plays or skits for other people has been something my sisters and I have been doing for years, whether it was for a cousin’s birthday party or just something to do on a hot summer day...oh, by the way, I am the third daughter of four. My oldest sister, Shelley Mraz is 29-year old CPA living in Temple, Texas; she is the one who interested me in this wonderful place called Aggieland--she’s a Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of '92. My other sisters are twenty and seventeen. I also enjoy: Swimming...especially in big ponds with wooden stands with hanging ropes to swing off and out onto the water..., Blading...although I had a bad incident at Corpus Christi involving roller blades with no brakes this summer... Singing, Laughing, Hugging, Dancing...country and western is my favorite, but I love to dance to other kinds of music also...of course I will never forget the yellow camp dance!...I will have to admit, Fish Camp was the first time I was introduced to such dance moves as a butt floss and a pencil sharpener. As for what I want to be when I grow up, I’ve often answered a famous actress; however, my artistic skills and my desire to become a Fightin’ Texas Aggie have given me a desire to work towards a degree in Architecture, perhaps working to get into Graphic Design.

If you were to ask other people about me, I will bet you they would say I’m easy to get along with, fun, and a bit like Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde the way I can be quiet and shy at one moment and loud and crazy the next. I hope this is the information you would like about me.
