Jamie Vogel was born in Texas. Vogel taught art to Japanese-American children and adults at Rohwer Relocation Center in Desha County during World War II. Her commitment to her work and respect for her students (unusual in the United States, and particularly in Arkansas, at that time) won her the friendship of many of the internees and led her to a commitment to preservation of their art work, much of which has been given to prestigious art institutions.
