He is the founding curator of the American Indian Community House Gallery in New York City. Jemison's artwork is held in major metropolitan museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London.

Jemison is a mixed-media artist well known for his art on paper bags as well as an author. His work is representative of orenda which is a Haudenosaunee belief that everything has a spiritual force. Jemison has brought the Seneca traditions to a large audience with his art and use of materials. He is also a strong advocate for Native American rights and repatriation of sacred objects. He was the chairman of the Haudenosaunee burial rules and regulations that fights for the return of the sacred objects. Jemison took a leading part of the restoration of Ganondagan which was a 17th-century Seneca village. This restoration included a replica Seneca longhouse, visitor center, and changing gallery.
