About Jessamine Narita, Director

Originally from Chicago, Jessamine received her BAFA in Art Studio from the University of New Mexico. She began working as an art consultant in Chicago in 1999.  After extensive travel around the globe, and living and working in Japan for several years, the artistic world of New Mexico called her home in 2008. She is pleased to be a part of the most vibrant gallery in Santa Fe and to be working with Brad Smith, one of today’s most exciting artists.

Jessamine’s warm personality, knowledge of art and design, personal care, and meticulous attention to detail make visiting the Brad Smith Gallery a fond and unforgettable memory.

Each January, Jessamine volunteers at the Lighthouse Children’s Home in Chennai, India teaching art to children ages 5-14.  The Brad Smith Gallery is proud to hold an exhibition of the children’s artwork each year to support the Lighthouse Children’s Home.
