2010s- While Jamie was in high school she learned the strict rules of First Nations Fine Arts through Todd Stephens - now brother in law. She graduated in 2011 with the help of her very supportive teachers in an alternative school who always encouraged her to do her best and never give up on her dream of becoming a successful artist.
