About

Jami Dominique Young is a native Detroiter, surrealist artist, musician, and community auntie. Her work creates a bridge between the physical, the spiritual, and the psychological. Through bold, layered colors and textures, she draws viewers into spaces where ancestral wisdom, spirit and love are present. Spirit-taught (self-taught), Jami honors the truth of collective legacy while exploring themes of ecological responsibility and psychological truth.

Much of her work is acrylic on canvas or wood, though she continues to expand her practice with materials such as resin, thread, and alcohol inks. Each piece becomes both meditation and dialogue: a reflection of resilience, spirit, and the shared human experience.

She began creating out of necessity, discovering art as a healing practice, and soon felt called to share the lessons gained along her journey. “It is my intention to reflect the circumstances that affect us (people),” Art gathers people, proximity creates conversation, conversation creates community and community creates hope.
