Jim imagines a distant future reaching back to communicate with us in present day.  Utilizing plaster, found objects, collage elements, photocpies, old photographs, acrylic paint and other mixed media materials, Jim tries to elicit an emotional reaction with what appears to be a communication (or miscommunication) from another time.  He is as moved by texture as he is by line and color.

Jim is a Wisconsin based artist and has been featured in many group shows as well as galleries. He was born on Long Island in the state of New York and has lived all over the country.  He has spent most of his life working in Theatre as an actor originally, and then as a playwright, a producer and an administrator. He began working as a visual artist in an attempt to rejoin a lost feeling of connectedness that he used to get as a young person making visual art.  In some ways - teh art itself feels like a byproduct of a meditative state.
