Jami was born in Corvallis, Oregon, and spent most of her childhood in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as one of three children of Toni Williams and Gene Tobey. Her father spent his professional life working as a sculptor best known for stylized animal sculptures with his trademark line drawings incised into the surface. As a child, Jami spent hours in her father’s studio where she was exposed to a variety of styles and sculpting techniques. Jami has said that her father encouraged her to follow her own path as an artist and to paint. By the time she was 14, she had sold her first piece at a Santa Fe art auction. She has said that New Mexican artist Georgia O’Keeffe was an early inspiration. Jami attended Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado, where she intended pursue her interest in literature and journalism. During her freshmen year, she entered an oil painting course and decided to double major in English and art. During the next three years, she worked extensively in oils and watercolors, focusing primarily on landscapes. Her formal training in art enabled her to sharpen her craft, master the use of composition, and develop her signature style of intense colors and acrylic ink designed to have a stained-glass glow. After college, Jami married Mitch Kiendra, and the two moved to San Diego, California. One of Jami’s first jobs after college was teaching third-grade. During that time, she would spend evenings painting. “I was the prolific evening painter. I’d come home at night and just paint and paint and paint. In five years, I didn’t produce anything for anyone other than myself. I probably did 200 to 300 paintings. My ultimate goal was to paint professionally and show in galleries.” Motherhood brought more focus to her work. When her son was diagnosed with autism, Jami quit her teaching job to be home with her child. More time at home enabled her to spend more time painting, and she eventually focused primarily on acrylics, a medium known for its vividness and quick-drying capabilities. By 2004, she had obtained her first gallery representation, with Adagio Galleries in Palm Desert, California. Others soon followed, including Exposures International Gallery in Sedona, Arizona, and Gallery 822 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. By 2006, Jami was named Southwest Art Magazine’s artist-to-watch.

The work was typically characterized by a spiritual intensity and a style that was both sophisticated and primal. The work appeared as sleek silhouettes from afar, but when viewed up close revealed a maze if glyphs and symbols. The sgraffito drawings often portrayed other animals, mountain ranges, human figures, symbols and geometric shapes. Jami’s younger brother, Joshua Tobey, is a sculptor.
