Jamie-May Minjie

Jamie-May Minjie (b. 1990; Jamie Ma) is a millennial writer, poet, visual artist, and cultural entrepreneur living and working in San Francisco. Her diverse experiences span the global landscape, encompassing residences in NYC, London, San Francisco, and Sydney, Australia.

Minjie writes about immigration experiences, modern love, and LGTBQ+ topics. Her expressionistic watercolor explores the potential of flow, fluidity, and the embodiment of trapped emotion release. She holds an MA from UCL and has appeared in several publications across the U.S, including Barzakh Magazine, and CLIP. She’s the author of Heart, Diamond, Club, Spade and chapbook, Strong at Heart, and co-author of Antonym.

Her watercolor practice, initiated as a therapeutic practice to process pain and heal depression, is an embodiment of an emotional landscape that mimics the topography as well as the mountains and water traditional Chinese ink painting.
