About Me
I was born in Philadelphia in 1956 and grew up in the rural Warminster section of Bucks County. My youth was surrounded by abandoned barns, old farmhouses, and open fields, which influenced the subject material of my later art. I was always interested in drawing, took a chance at an art contest in high school, and won a partial scholarship to Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, where I met my future wife, artist Betz Green. Working my way through school in the construction industry to pay the bills, eventually, that work sidetracked into a 30-year odyssey owning and operating my own construction company. However, never losing my love for painting, I built my own art studio where I could focus on developing my painting style, which is greatly influenced by the colorful palettes of the New Hope and French impressionists, and more recently by the expressionist style of the Viennese Secessionists. Jim’s remarkable career is reflected in the numerous awards, exhibitions, and his teaching history.
