Creative Rituals: An Interview with ICON11′s Co-Vice President Veronica Miller Jamison

Veronica Miller Jamison is the Co-Vice President of ICON11. A trained apparel designer, Veronica's fashion-influenced illustration work has appeared across a number of markets, including stationery, children's books, surface design and editorial. She's the illustrator of the picture book, "A Computer Called Katherine." Veronica is also a fashion educator, teaching at Drexel University and Made Institute in Philadelphia.

What's your favorite memory from past ICON conferences?

There are too many to choose from! The moment that excites me the most is when Bil Donovan did an amazing live fashion illustration demonstration at ICON10 in Detroit. The parties, of course, are always top notch. And I still get teary thinking about Eleanor Davis' touching main stage talk at ICON9 in Austin.

Tell me about your practice!

I have a million things running around my mind at any given moment and am easily distracted, so my workday starts with a few rituals to help me focus - a 10-minute meditation, lighting candles, and palo santo, a cup of tea, then some music. (Yes, I am THAT girl.) I work in watercolor and inks, and since every project is led by color, I'll spend some time perfecting a color palette. For detailed illustration work, I'll do some sketches first. But if I'm working on a surface pattern collection, I jump right in with painting motifs and textures. I love working on projects where I get to be spontaneous and intuitive in my painting.

What is your studio/office space like?

It's cute! I live in a two-bedroom apartment with my husband in the middle of Philadelphia and we're fortunate to have some extra space that I've turned into my studio. I have space for my painting work, space for any digital work I might do, and a little couch that my cat thinks belongs to him (you can tell by the way it's scratched up). I also have more books than I can count (about art, fashion, textiles, and cultural history, and yes, I need them all), so a stack of them can be found laying around at any given time.

Where is your hometown and where do you currently live?

I was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, spent a long time in Washington, DC (where I went to Howard University for undergrad) and currently live in Philadelphia. Philly has been my favorite place to live thus far.

Who are some of your favorite emerging creatives?

My friend Loveis Wise has been doing some incredible work and I'm always excited to see what she has up her sleeve. Another illustration friend of mine, Debra Cartwright, has started producing these oil paintings of black women that are just so ethereal and gorgeous. And whenever I need a pick-me-up, I'll go find Obi Aris's comics on Twitter. They're this perfect mix of pop culture, social media memes, and general ridiculousness, and they're so funny.

Breath Of Gratitude

“I AM WELL. I breathe in wellness and wholeness. I exhale all that doesn't serve me. Every breath I take is in gratitude for this very moment.”
