Creation is forever pleasing
Jim grew up in Union City, a small rural town in Indiana during the 50's and 60's. Always interested in art he enrolled in 1967 at the College of the Dayton Art Institute in Dayton Ohio. Jim majored in Industrial Design but he always had a passionate interest in painting, sculpture and photography. He has sold many pieces of work in charcoal, pen & ink and watercolor over the years, including illustrating the book, The Psychic Christ.
After a long career not related to the art world, he began painting watercolors in 2006. Always loving the outdoors, he paints primarily landscapes and seascapes.
Jim has been contracted to paint many works while choosing subjects that are dear to him personally. He resides in Miami Township Ohio but travels the country to find interesting land and seascapes to paint.
Jim's paintings and prints can be found in many private collectors' homes.
