Biography: Philip Jamison (July 3, 1925 – September 3, 2021) was an American artist working primarily with watercolor as a medium. Typical scenes are landscapes, seascapes, interiors and flower arrangements. Jamison was born in 1925 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, moving to West Chester, Pennsylvania, with his mother "Daisy" before the first grade where she raised him as a single parent. When Jamison completed high school in 1943, he was drafted into the United States Navy. After two and half years of service, he attended college under the G.I. Bill. Jamison graduated from the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art (later known as the University of the Arts) in 1950. This is where he reconnected with childhood friend Jane Gray. They were married in 1950. Jamison had three children, a son Philip III, who resides in West Chester, and identical twin daughters, Linda and Terry Jamison. They are also artists, and well known as claimed psychics. Jamison's work has been widely exhibited in museums and galleries, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and are included in the permanent collections of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Delaware Art Museum, the National Air and Space Museum, etc. and in numerous private collections. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Design in 1970 and has been a member of the American Watercolor Society since 1957. He exhibited with The Hirschl & Adler Galleries in New York City for 25 years, including nine one-man shows. In 1975, he was selected by NASA to paint his impressions of the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project space launch in Cape Canaveral, Florida. He was represented from 1958 to 1980 by The Hirschl & Adler Galleries in New York City and for over 20 years by Sessler's in Philadelphia. Jamison is the author of two books on the techniques of watercolor painting, written in 1980 and 1987. Philip Jamison has displayed a one-man show at the Chester County Art Association, January 2011 to March 2011, entitled "Philip Jamison: Watercolors." These paintings were created during Jamison's summers in Maine. He died in West Chester, Pennsylvania, in September 2021, at the age of 96.
