Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art acknowledges it resides on the ancestral territory of the Osage, Kaw, and Otoe-Missouria, among other tribal nations forcibly moved to the region such as the Shawnee, Wyandot, Delaware, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) nations. We recognize and support the continued vibrancy of Native communities and cultures today who continue to thrive, as well as the inherent sovereignty of tribal nations. We are compelled to serve and advocate for these communities in accordance with our public mission.

Kemper Museum acknowledges and respects the diversity of Native people connected to this land today. Many recognize the land and all beings who live within it as relatives. We acknowledge the earth we inhabit, the waters of the Blue River, the Kansas River, the Missouri River, and the plants, animals, and people supported by them. 

We acknowledge our responsibility to be good caretakers of the land we occupy.

Jamie Gray is the Kansas City based designer and artist behind Grayjay Studio. Gray established her multidisciplinary art practice in 2013, while living in England. There she began selling her jewelry in some of London’s finest curated craft markets and independent boutiques and was also commissioned to create a collection for the Royal Academy of Arts museum shop. 

Recently returned to KC, Gray now creates her original jewelry and fine art from her midtown studio at The Cherry Pit Collective. Before jewelry design, Gray worked as an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at the Kansas City Art Institute and it is her design background, as well as many years as an abstract painter, that guides her unique aesthetic. 

For this collection, Gray inventively incorporates traditional marbling techniques into the jewelry making process. Each piece of her minimal and modern jewelry is individually handmade so that no two pieces are alike! 

View her works in-person at the Shop or join us Saturday, November 24, for another "Pop Up at the Museum Shop" taking place from 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. in celebration of Small Business Saturday and featuring six remarkable local artists, including Jamie Gray – learn more here!
