About Jim

I see my paintings as a portal into various cultures and different areas of society. I like the connection between people and their culture. The different emotions, gestures,moods, environments, and style of the people in my life and those that I cross paths with, all become part of my storytelling. My paintings are extremely thick and layered, I love how experimental oil allows me to be. I can keep the colors moving until I like what they have done to the piece.
