Family Owned 

Jeff Jamison created this painting, "Family Owned," with an evocative style that feels both modern and timeless. The painting offers a glimpse into a family-run establishment, and the figure holding a broom invites us to consider the hidden labor of the service industry. Jamison's work brings forth questions about class and gender roles. There is an emotional weight in this painting; the solitary figure evokes empathy, suggesting the long hours and often unseen work that sustains such establishments. "Family Owned" subtly highlights the complexities of identity within the context of work, suggesting a broader commentary on who gets to own and who is tasked with the cleaning up. This painting challenges us to look beyond the surface of our daily experiences and contemplate the often unseen lives that make them possible.
