Jim studied art at Illinois State University before going on to become a teacher in Chicago Public Schools for ten years. After this time the decision was made to move on and go into art as a professional career. For the past five years Jim has been in many shows and galleries in the Chicago area as well as around the United States. He has several public art pieces throughout the Chicagoland area as well as being part of dozens of private collections here and around the world. He currently resides on the south side.
Theory - I use the oscillations within elements to create visual movement subtle enough to reside within a stationary framework. Similar to a lake or a field of long grass, I use many subtle and varied elements to create a tremendous amount of variety within a very limited framework. Here the repetition of the color, and at times color with texture, create the subtle, soft movement that helps the viewer relax into a more natural rhythm.
