Jacques Lamy first came to America on business in 1985. When he visited Dallas, he saw a vibrant, dynamic city he chose to make his home. In the 20 years since, he has become an institution in the Dallas design community and is known nationally. Jacques is a respected Dallas artist who offers his clients a unique combination of artistic sensibility and classical European training with the dynamic energy of his adopted city.

Born in Paris in 1946 and raised in the heart of an idyllic French countryside near the Loire Valley, Jacques Lamy began painting at a early age. He completed his formal artistic training at the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieur des Arts Decoratifs (Paris) in 1971. While there, he received the highest peer recognition in European Arts, the coveted Prix de Rome award for painting.

Jacques Lamy's career as an artist, designer and art teacher has taken him from his native France to life abroad in Spain, Africa and the United States. His broad artistic interests and his classic training in art and design have enabled him to enjoy a wide variety of artistic experiences from designing furniture, lamps, tapestries and elegant garden statuary to creating large-scale murals.

Jacques' personal style is a melding of old and new —merging classical training with a modern artistic vision. His medium is multi-media and his composition has a modern, abstract quality. But his Old World training in design and composition lends a classical grace.
