Jamie Solorio | Surrealist Photographer & Mixed Media Artist

Jamie Solorio is a Northern California–based surreal and temporal photographer whose practice incorporates mixed media. Her work explores ecological consciousness, transformation, and the imperfection of being human. She experiments with long exposures, light painting, digital solarization, and mixed media, often incorporating flora and upcycled materials from her permaculture food forest, to create low-footprint portraits informed by historical influences, religious iconography, and surrealist aesthetics. She is currently developing BIOPHILIAC: Resisting the Rabbit Hole of Consumption—a surrealist meditation on healing, sustainability, and our evolving relationship with the Earth.

Alongside commercial and institutional commissions, she created both studio and on-location portraiture that documented family life and community traditions across Northern California. This period established her foundation in visual storytelling and professional practice. Today, she has stepped away from commercial work to focus on family life and to pursue a new artistic direction in fine art and experimental photography.
